Rinse dried shiitake mushrooms and place them in a medium sized bowl. Add 3

mushrooms together in a food processor and pulse until they are cut up into
small pieces (coarsely chopped).
Put all the mushrooms in a soup pot or aDutchen oven with the reserved
mushroom-soaking water, 4 additional cups of water, and the salt,
scallions, garlic, and 2 to 3 sprigs of thyme. Bring to a boil, then lower
heat to a simmer. Cover and cook gently for about 40 minutes.
Line a strainer with two layers of clean cheesecloth and strain the soup
into another pot. Serve the broth hot, possibly with some of the mushrooms,
a few drops of sherry and/or chopped chives. Makes about 6 cups of a richly
flavored broth in about 1 hour (20 minutes of work). PER SERVING without
