This mushroom broth is a vegan version of the popular bone broth. It’s made with flavorful shiitake mushrooms, which not only give a meaty taste to recipes, but they also reduce inflammation, improve immune response and and offer a whole host of other benefits.

  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 2 large yellow onions, chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
