Mushroom sipping broth is a comforting, warm and aromatic way to enjoy the umami and immunity benefits naturally present in mushrooms. The broth is also versatile, so it can be used in several preparations when flavor and healthfulness are both important. The recipe can be scaled from small to high volume and can be made in a stovetop rondo or a commissary-sized kettle. The quantity and type of mushrooms can be adjusted to make the broth more or less intense.
