Even if kids pick them out, much of the mushrooms' immune-building benefits are steeped in the soup. Ingredient tips: Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and roasted Hatch chilies come in small cans, often already chopped. Use corn chips with sesame seeds for extra calcium.

Chip Soup
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil, or any high-heat oil
- 2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
- 8 whole cloves garlic
- 1 (28-ounce) can low-sodium tomatoes diced or crushed
- 1 (28-ounce) can low-sodium roasted diced tomatoes
- 8 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 7 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms stems removed
- Avocado chunks
- Spinach, thinly sliced
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or roasted Hatch chilies, finely chopped
- Goat cheese optional
- Corn tortilla chips crumbled
Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven. Add onions and garlic and cook for about 10 minutes. If mixture gets dry, add a little water and stir occasionally. Cool a few minutes.
- Working in batches, purée tomatoes in a food processor with onion-garlic mixture. Return to pot. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add mushrooms. Simmer 30 minutes or more (flavors will blend more the longer it simmers).
- When ready to serve, place desired amounts of avocado, spinach, peppers, and goat cheese in bowls and ladle soup over all. Top with crumbled chips
