Hot-and-Sour Soup with Cod and Greens



Ingredients:

5 cups Easy Mushroom Broth or store-bought mushroom broth 
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thinly sliced  
1 cup frozen chopped kale 
1 cup frozen chopped spinach  
1 small red serrano or other hot chile, seeded and finely chopped 
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks  
3/4 pound cod fillet, cut into 1-inch chunks 
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar  
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper 
1 teaspoon honey (optional) 
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced  


In a large saucepan, combine broth, mushrooms, kale, spinach, chile and ginger. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until mushrooms are very tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in cod, vinegar, white pepper and honey, if using. Simmer until fish is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions and serve.
