Bouquet Garni
2 Star Anise
1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
Vegetables
1 Onion, Roughly Chopped
1 Carrot, Roughly Chopped
1 Bunch Scallions, Roughly Chopped
1 1 Inch Piece Ginger
8 Garlic Cloves, Roughly Chopped
3 Dried Shiitakes
3 cups Bok Choy, Roughly Chopped
1 Bunch Cilantro, With Stems
3-4 tablespoons Soy Sauce
8-10 cups Filtered Water (or more if needed)

1
Tie the star anise and Sichuan peppercorns in a piece of cheesecloth.
2
Combine the onion, carrot, scallions, ginger, garlic, shiitakes, bok choy, cilantro, soy sauce, and water in a large pot and bring to a boil.
3
Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, adding water as necessary to keep the veggies submerged, for about 1 hour, or until the vegetables are very tender and the broth is flavorful.
4
Remove the spice bundle and mushrooms.
5
If you like the taste of the veggies in the broth you can eat it as is but I find that pureeing the veggies with the broth then straining it adds a lot more flavor (and also makes the broth a little thicker).
6
Add your favorite soup ingredients or use for stir fries and/or steaming. Enjoy!
