• 2 tablespoons Nutiva Refined Coconut Oil 
• 4 green onions, sliced into 1-inch lengths

2. Stir in the shiitake mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the vegetable broth, water, Organic Original Soy Sauce Substitute, miso, and coconut sugar. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
