Mushroom-Ginger Broth with Sea Scallops

Given the minimal amount of work involved here and the incredibly quick prep time, this soup is an ideal starter for wowing your guests. It’s luxurious, light, complex, and stunningly delicious. The soup and scallops come together beautifully; the broth is filled with the flavor of leeks, ginger, and mushrooms-it’s almost a tea-like infusion—-and, poured over the almost raw scallops, it makes for a great contrast.
