remains in bottom of sink. Stack leaves in piles and chop into bite-sized
pieces.

onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, beans and stock. Bring to a boil, cover,
and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until greens are tender, about 10 to
20 minutes depending on greens. Season to taste with salt or miso and
pepper. Dissolve miso first in a small bowl of the hot soup liquid before
adding to the soup. Stir in lemon juice. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
Variation1: Puree half the beans before adding to soup for a creamier
consistency.
