In a 5- to 6-quart pan, combine mushrooms, onions, and oil. Stir often over medium-high heat until mushroom liquid evaporates and onions are slightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Add potatoes, carrots, and celery. Stir often until vegetables are lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Add 7 cups water, bay leaves, parsley, oregano, basil, tomato paste, wine, and soy sauce. Bring soup to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender when pierced and flavours have blended, about 30 minutes.

Ladle into bowls and add salt, pepper, and cheese to taste. Makes 3.5 to 4 quarts/ 8 to 10 servings; 145 calories per serving -- 13% from fat; 4.9 g protein; 2.1 g fat; 29 g carbo; 648 mg sodium; 0 mg chol.
