I love to make a ginger chicken soup with shiitake mushrooms.
I don't really have a recipe as I just make things as I go along but I can tell you what I put in it.
Chicken breast
Fresh shredded ginger root (I use my plane zester on a fresh root sans peel)
Chicken stock
Shiitake mushrooms
Thinly sliced carrots
Liquid aminos or soy sauce
Toasted Sesame oil
green onions (sprinkled on top)
I also keep the zester and ginger next to the soup bowl for people to add extra if they so choose. I love a ton of ginger in my soup. Funny, since I dislike the pickled ginger with sushi.
It is really light and tasty soup. You could add in other veggies to suit your own taste.

A soup my mom told us about that I make when I am tired of our other usual sources of protein. She saw it on some show she was watching and she now has us hooked on it.
Day old bread, I like sourdough or French bread, cut into large cubes think one slice per person
Diced garlic (the more the better)
Chili pepper (the type you use depends on the amount of heat you want
Chicken or veggie broth (can even use water but you may need to season more)
Eggs (one or two per person depending on hunger)
Fresh tomatoes
A deep skillet works better than a pot if you have one
Place bread and garlic in skillet and drizzle olive oil over and sprinkle with chili pepper and a smidge of salt. When breaded is nicely toasted lower heat and add broth. Raise heat back and when the broth begins to boil, crack in eggs, try to ensure that the egg stays intact. Cover and turn off the heat. The egg yolks should still be a little runny. Tastes great with the bread.
Serve with fresh tomatoes on top.
Once again sorry about no specific amounts.
