Reserve the mushrooms, trimming and discarding their tough stems; thinly slice the caps.

Return the broth and sliced shiitakes to the soup pot and bring to a simmer. Add the fresh mushrooms and simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, covered, or until they are cooked but still pleasantly chewy.

Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for another 5 to 8 minutes, or just until the bok choy is tender-crisp. Serve at once.
