Steakhouse Turkey Mushroom Broth

My favorite Sushi/Hibachi restaurant serves a glorious clear broth that is infused with mushrooms and Asian flavors. It is a light appetizer that perks up the palate and heralds the coming of many good things.

I’ll revamp the basic stock to use our turkey stock and generate a glorious starter for yet another round of Thanksgiving reruns.

One can thicken this with cooked rice or the pureed vegetables used to simmer the stock. Additional protein can be added in the form of cooked shrimp or other cooked shellfish; even pan-fried tofu can be included. This will transform the broth from a starter to a hearty meal in itself.

Notes

Some pump-it-up options:

For a heartier soup, add cooked rice or puree the cooked vegetables, thence add to the broth.

One can add cooked shrimp (maybe from the shrimp ring appetizer), or other cooked shellfish.
