Healthy Chicken Soup

I have this, both plain and herbal version, since I can remember. The soup will be served on several occasions: when any family member got sick, any praying dates, any family member's birthday, or anytime my mom feels like it :p. Anyway, tot that you guys should try this one. It's good for your heart and soul hahaha....

1 can of champignon mushroom, drenched
1 pinch of salt (just for flavour
water (can't tell you how much, depends on how thick/thin/tasty you like your soup)
