Carrot Ginger Shiitake Soup

I prefer to use quite a bit more ginger in this soup than what I call for. If you love the flavor and spice that ginger provides, then add up to twice as much as what is called for below. If your ginger is quite fresh there is no need to peel it, on the other hand, if it is older with a thick skin, then peel it.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onions diced
2 inches fresh ginger chopped
10 shiitake mushrooms chopped
2 pounds carrots peeled and chopped
6 cups chicken bone broth (or vegetable stock)
2 teaspoons Herbamare (or sea salt)

Garnish

sliced and sautéed shiitake mushrooms
chopped fresh cilantro
