This delicious and medicinal soup stock can be used as a base for a soup or stew or simply sipped when you have a cold or flu. I like to freeze at least half of this when I make it because you never know when you will need it!

Ingredients

1 large onions chopped
1 heads garlic cut in half crosswise
2 inches fresh ginger sliced
3 celery stalks chopped
2 carrots chopped
3 cups chopped shiitake mushrooms

1 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
