"Store bought Mushroom Broth/Stock can be pricey and sometimes way to salty for my tastes. This is a easy recipe and comes out very flavorful every time. When I cook with mushrooms, I always save the stems - I have a large baggie in the freezer, and when it is full ... it is time to make the broth. I do add some fresh white/button mushrooms; and, I also add some dried porcinis for a rich flavor; but this is easy to make. Unlike beef broth, I find mushroom broth very rich, so I tend to use less of it when cooking with it. It is also very good mixed with a beef stock."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Broth/Stock ... Add everything to a large stock pot. The water amount can vary according to the size of the pot you use. But, you basically want the mushrooms to be covered, by approximately 1/2" of water. Don't exceed 16 cups - 14 is idea if it covers all your mushrooms.
Step 2
Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, uncovered. Then strain the broth, return to the heat, add the worcestershire, season with salt, and continue to simmer until you are left with approximately 7-8 cups of broth, probably another 15-20 minutes. Cool, refrigerate or freeze, and ENJOY!
