Vegetable Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons minced jarred garlic
• 1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped (yes, seeded. I was afraid of overpowering the shitakes.)
• .15 lb snow peas (this was how much I was charged for, anyway. It was about a handful.)
• 1 tablespoon grated pickled ginger
• 10 oz shitake mushrooms, coarsely chopped
• 1 piece dried lemongrass, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon galangal powder
• 2 scallions, chopped, white and green parts divided
• 1/4 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
• 2 cups vegetable broth
