We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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!
