EASY MUSHROOM STOCK / BROTH

This warm and comforting Mushroom Stock recipe is easily made with mushrooms,
aromatic vegetables and seasonings for a flavorful broth that pairs well in many
dishes. Use it for soups, stews, sauces, risotto and more. Freezeable.




You will love this homemade Mushroom Stock (broth), trust me!



It adds a wonderful flavor dimension to so many dishes, from soups and stews to
risotto and sauces.



There's something so wonderful about fresh broth and it's so much better than
boullion.

Mushroom stock can be hard to find in the stores, so let me show you just how
easy it is to make at home from scratch. You can also make vegan chicken broth.

As I'm sure you know, one of the easiest ways to add flavor to many dishes that
require liquid is to use a flavorful broth or stock.

Stock is made simply by cooking down vegetables and herbs with water and
seasonings and simmering until all of the flavors and nutrients combine.

Then, just remove the herbs and veggies and simmer the broth to reduce it
slightly and concentrate the flavors.

If you can chop, boil, strain and simmer (we all can!) you can make homemade
mushroom broth.

Mushrooms make a great stock because they have a deep bold flavor that's similar
to beef which makes it suitable to use in vegan and vegetarian dishes.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

Homemade Mushroom Stock is really easy to make.

You can use it instead of vegetable stock in many recipes for a whole new flavor
dimension.

It's completely vegan and vegetarian which makes it a good substitute for
recipes that call for a beef broth or any beef flavor.

You can use a mix of your favorite mushrooms which will add a depth of flavor.



It's great to use in any soups, stews or to drink on its own when you need a cup
of comfort.

Mushrooms provide excellent nutritional value making it a healthy vegan broth.

It can be made ahead of time and be frozen for later cooking.





INGREDIENTS & TOOLS 

 * Cooking Oil - You'll need some cooking oil to sauté the mushrooms and
   vegetables. I like using avocado or olive oil. It's possible to leave out the
   oil and make it oil-free by sauteeing the vegetables in a little water in a
   non-stick pot.
 * Carrots, Onions & Garlic - These aromatic vegetables are popular in stocks
   and broth because they infuse a deep vegetable flavor that's also nutritious.
 * Tomato Paste - Tomato paste gives the broth an acidic note and bold flavor.
 * Mushrooms - Roughly chop up your favorite mushrooms. I used a mix of
   shiitake, porcini and button mushrooms.
 * Dried Mushrooms - you only need a small amount, and they really add a deep
   and intense mushroom flavor.
 * Thyme & Bay Leaves - These herbs are common in soups and stocks and add a
   great herb flavor infused throughout.
 * Salt & Pepper - Balance out all the flavors in the stock. Feel free to adjust
   these as necessary.
 * Water - You'll need 6 cups of water (1 liter) to make the stock.




STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL

Follow this step by step photo tutorial, then scroll down to the recipe card for
the full ingredients list and method.




Heat the cooking oil in a large pot, then add the carrots and onion. Cook over a
high heat until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.

Stir in all the remaining ingredients.



Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Place a sieve over a large bowl and strain the mushroom stock into it. Discard
the solids.



Simmer the stock for a further 15 minutes to concentrate the flavors.

Use immediately or cool and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3
months.

Scroll down for the full ingredients list and method.


TIPS 

Chop your mushrooms all roughly the same size to make sure they brown evenly in
the stock pot.

Use it instead of chicken or beef stock in recipes to make them suitable for
vegetarian and vegans.

Dried mushrooms aren't an everyday ingredient, but you only need a small amount.
You can usually find them at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and larger grocery
stores.

Ensure that the onions and carrots brown a bit, as you don’t want to ‘sweat’ the
vegetables or the stock will be too sweet. Also, don’t get it too dark or it
will have a bitter taste.



You'll need to find a balance of cooking the vegetables so they brown but not
burn. This will help ensure that the broth is the correct flavor and not bitter.
Adjust the heat as necessary.

Mushroom stock should be simmered for a minimum of 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.



Make sure the stock is cooled before storing it in the fridge or freezer.

Try making your own dried mushrooms in the oven.

FAQS 

Is mushroom broth good for your health?

100%! The vitamins and minerals in mushrooms can help nourish your body and
promote better gut health.

What mushroom is best for immune health?

Reishi mushroom is known to have the most immune boosting benefits, but they all
do to some degree.

Are mushrooms vegetables?

Although mushrooms are classified as vegetables, technically they are part of
the fungi kingdom.

Can you buy mushroom broth?

You can, but it tends to be very hard to find. You can sometimes find mushroom
bouillion powder a little more easily. It's so easy to make it from scratch, so
homemade mushroom stock is useful to keep in the fridge or freezer for recipes.

What is the difference between stock and broth?

Typically, stock is an unseasoned meat and vegetable liquid made with bones,
whereas broth isn't from bones, but is seasoned. Some consider broth to be a
drink and stock a cooking ingredient. However, although they're not quite the
same, the terms tend to be used interchangeably for general cooking purposes.

EQUIPMENT


 * Soup pot
 * Fine Mesh Strainer


INGREDIENTS

 

 * 2 teaspoons oil
 * 2 medium carrots chopped
 * 1 onion chopped
 * 2 teaspoons tomato puree/paste
 * ½ lb (200g) mushrooms roughly chopped (I used shiitake and button mushrooms)
 * 1 oz (15g) dried shiitake or porcini mushrooms
 * 3 cloves garlic smashed lightly skins left on
 * 3 sprigs thyme
 * 2 bay leaves
 * 1 teaspoon salt
 * 4 black peppercorns or ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
 * 6 cups (1 ½ litres) water


INSTRUCTIONS

 

 * Heat the oil in a large pot, then add the carrots and onion. Cook over a high
   heat until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Ensure that it browns a bit,
   as you don’t want to ‘sweat’ the vegetables or the stock will be too sweet.
   Also, don’t get it too dark or it will have a bitter taste.
 * Stir in the tomato puree/paste and cook for 2 minutes to caramelise.
 * Stir in all the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil, then reduce the
   heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Skim any scum that appears on the surface.
 * Place a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl and strain the mushroom stock into
   it. Discard the solids from the sieve.
 * Add the mushroom stock back to the pan and simmer for a further 15 minutes to
   concentrate the flavors.
 * Use immediately or cool and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to
   3 months.

NOTES



Ensure that the onions and carrots brown a bit, as you don’t want to ‘sweat’ the
vegetables or the stock will be too sweet. Also, don’t get it too dark or it
will have a bitter taste.


You'll need to find a balance of cooking the vegetables so they brown but not
burn. This will help ensure that the broth is the correct flavor and not bitter.
Adjust the heat as necessary.


Mushroom stock should be simmered for a minimum of 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.


Make sure the stock is cooled before storing it in the fridge or freezer.


Dried mushrooms aren't an everyday ingredient and can be left out, but they
really add a wonderful depth of flavor. You can find them in Whole Foods, Trader
Joe's and larger grocery stores.
