Chaga Mushroom Soup

I find comfort in always having a crockpot full of hot chaga tea decocting on my countertop. Although I love the earthy taste of drinking chaga tea straight or in an elixir, I have also found that it works well as a base broth for soup. This chaga mushroom soup is simple and is one of my staple recipes during the cold winter months.
