Cooking Instructions:

Wash and cut the vegetables. You may sauté the vegetables in a little sesame or olive oil, for extra browning and flavor.  Wash mushrooms and astragalus root and place them into a medium saucepan.   Add the rest of the vegetables.  Add cold water and bring to a boil.   Lower the heat, and cook uncovered for 40 minutes, making sure to add water if it runs too low.   Add sea salt and black pepper to taste.
