Powered byPreparation
- Step 1
Place an 8-quart or (preferably) larger casserole or stockpot over high heat, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they soften and release their liquid. Continue to cook until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms begin to brown; it may take about 45 minutes.
- Step 2
Add the garlic and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the onions and celery and reduce the heat to medium. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Step 3
Add the parsley, thyme and black peppercorns and about 7 quarts of water (should be just enough to cover). Simmer for 45 minutes and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl. Cool, cover and refrigerate; may be frozen for up to 3 months.

What do you do with all the lovely mushrooms from this stock? I can’t afford to discard them! Used in the soup perhaps?
Stephanie
This stock is rich in flavor and a great vegetarian base for many soups. I didn’t know the importance of having a homemade stock on hand until I made a vat of this and repurposed it several times. I used wild mushrooms and dried shiitakes left from a previous recipe and excluded the white mushrooms and celery. Then followed the instructions as written. I’m definitely making this again!

I'd suggest making a puree of the leftover shrooms and veggies and use to enrich future soups and sauces
