MUSHROOM BROTH

Mushrooms are so full of flavor and mushroom broth is just an essence of that flavor. I usually make a batch and keep in containers in the freezer or preserved in jars. It can be used later as basic stock in preparing other dishes or drank by itself.

Earlier this year I used the mushroom broth to help me lose 14 lb which, by the way, are still off. I drank it hot with meals which gave me the feeling of being more full. Any time I felt hungry a glass of hot mushroom broth made the trick - especially late in the day.

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb - fresh mushrooms (minced)
8 tbsp - dry, minced onion (1 fresh onion can be used instead - have fun crying over it…)
4 tbsp - all purpose spices

96 oz - water
Salt, pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1. Fill the pot with 96 oz of water, add spices and minced onion,
2. Chop the mushrooms into small pieces. Place in the pot,
3. Bring to boiling and simmer on low heat for about 60 min,
4. Use as basic stock or enjoy a glass on its own.
