Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    1 t canola oil
    2 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
    3.5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, chopped
    8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, chopped
    3 medium carrots, grated
    1 tablespoon white wine, tomato juice, or lemon juice
    2 garlic cloves or 1 teaspoon grated ginger
    1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
    3 sprigs fresh thyme
    4 parsley stems
    9 cups cold water

Directions

Place a large saucepan over moderate heat. Add the oil to the hot pan, then add the leeks to the hot oil and sweat for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and sweat for 2 minutes. Add the carrots and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add your acid of choice (wine, lemon juice or tomato juice) to deglaze the pan. Stir in the acid with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom to lift up any "fond" (crust) on the bottom of the pan.
Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 40 minutes. Cool slightly and strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Cool completely if freezing.
Makes 6 cups, 1/2 cup per serving

    This recipe has NO msg.
    Glutamate is found in abundance in virtually all natural foods - from meat, poultry, fish, cheese and milk (including human breast milk) to tomatoes, mushrooms and many other vegetables.
    MSG is a manufactured product.

    CAN THIS MUSHROOM STOCK BE USED IN CASSEROLES AND ETC.? - 6/18/13

    Sure! I use it almost anywhere that a chicken stock is called for in a recipe.

    This is WONDERFUL!

    I did make just one small change... Instead of using the canola oil, I substituted olive oil instead. I'm pretty sure that it didn't make any taste difference, but I always only use olive oil.

    Picture does NOT match recipe at all. Not just the sliced, uncooked white button mushrooms, but the white creamy liquid. If you follow the recipe, yours will not look like the picture, but it is delicious. - 2/22/15

    I would use anything other than canola oil! I have also made mushroom stock from just boiling the stems of large mushrooms and onions cilantro and garlic and if you are brave hot pepper flakes. - 1/14/15

    Add garlic for Asian-style stock and garlic if you're using it in Italian dishes. Ummm that's Ginger for Asian-Style :) - 5/3/11

    Why do you show the Stock/Soup with the vegetables still in when the recipe says to strain . I would think it would still taste good with everything still in it. Is this a typo in the Directions?

    I really like this for all kids of recipes.....I used less oil, and have used regular onions when I don't have leeks..can use shallots too..
    this is just good to have on had and you can add thickener too and use for gravy...mash potato flakes can be used too
