yellow onion, chopped 4 clove
cloves garlic, crushed and chopped (or more to taste) 1 each

fresh Shiitake mushrooms, sliced (or more to taste) 1 tbsp

Notes
For a five-serving batch, you can use up to 10 cloves of garlic, up to 8 shiitake mushrooms or up to 3 tablespoons ginger, depending on your preference.
You can start the soup with half the total garlic you desire; then crush the remaining cloves, adding them with the lemon juice at the end. This retains more of the immune modulating constituents.
