Warning: I was wrong about dried mushrooms in soup

I used to skip the dried mushrooms at the Asian market on Argyle St because I figured fresh always wins, until a vendor there last month had me smell a bag of dried shiitakes and said "that's the flavor you're missing." I soaked a handful in warm water for 20 minutes and used the soaking liquid in a pot of chicken soup, and it was deeper and richer than anything my fresh ones ever did. What's your go-to dried pantry item that quietly makes a whole meal taste like more?
