Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 medium onion coarsely chopped
  • 1 carrot cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 celery ribs coarsely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 dried mushrooms
  • ⅓ cup fresh parsley coarsely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • Savory Spice Blend to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat 1 cup of water over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, parsley, and black pepper. Add 7 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 11⁄2 hours. 
  • Let cool slightly and then transfer to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended broth back to the pot. Ladle about 1⁄3 cup of the broth into a small bowl or cup. Add the miso paste and stir well before incorporating into the broth. Add the Savory Spice Blend to taste. 
  • Let the broth cool to room temperature; then divide among containers with tight-sealing lids and store in the refrigerator or freezer. Properly stored, the stock will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
  • NOTE: If you don’t have time to make your own broth, you can buy salt-free vegetable broth or salt-free vegetable bouillon cubes, available in natural food stores or online.
