Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, roughly chopped
- 3 medium carrots, roughly chopped
- 3 celery stalks, roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 cup shitake mushrooms, dried
- 1 piece (about 6 inches) kombu (seaweed), rinsed
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 small bunch parsley stems
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 12 cups filtered water
- salt, to taste
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the garlic, dried shitake mushrooms, and kombu, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the filtered water, and add the bay leaf, black peppercorns, fresh thyme, parsley stems, and tamari.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 2.5 to 3 hours.
Occasionally check the broth and skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
After simmering, remove the pot from heat, and strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids, pressing down on the solids to extract more liquid.
Stir in the nutritional yeast and season with salt to taste.
Let the broth cool to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Enjoy the broth as a warming drink or use it as a base for soups and stews.
