When I was in elementary school, there was this pasta restaurant in my neighborhood that my family loved. They always used fresh ingredients and had the best creative twists on some of the recipes. Sadly, they couldn't afford to keep up with the rent as the area became busier. They closed down and we never found any other restaurant that sold food like they did.
In the past, I did not eat mushrooms of any kind other than enoki mushrooms. However, I've always loved the oyster mushroom clear soup that they served at this restaurant. Every once in a while I would think of it. Recently, Ares has been making oyster mushrooms as a side dish for his chicken breast. Finally, I decided that I was going to try and recreate this soup to the best of my memory. And I have to say, the results are great! It was exactly as I remembered.
For the vegetable stock in this recipe, you can make it yourself or use something store bought. Honestly, the bar isn't high. Every week, we would cook vegetables and freeze them in portions for our dog. I used the leftover cooking water, because it literally is a type of vegetable stock.
