Ingredients

• 1 cup dried shiitake mushrooms
• 1 piece kombu (dried kelp)
• 1 medium daikon radish
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 large onion
• 5 garlic cloves
• 3 inch piece ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 12 cups water
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the dried shiitake mushrooms in 2 cups of warm water for at least 20 minutes, until softened. Reserve the soaking liquid.

Step 2

While the mushrooms are soaking, prepare the vegetables. Peel the daikon radish and carrots. Roughly chop them along with the onion.

Step 3

In a large stockpot, add the soaked shiitake mushrooms (including soaking liquid), kombu, daikon radish, carrots, onion, peeled garlic cloves, and ginger.

Step 4

Pour in the 12 cups of water along with soy sauce, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and black peppercorns.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer gently for about 2 hours.

Step 6

After the simmering time, carefully remove and discard the kombu and ginger piece.

Step 7

Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the broth into another large pot or bowl to remove the solid vegetables and mushrooms.

Step 8

Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning by adding more soy sauce or salt if needed.

Step 9

The broth is now ready to serve! Use it as a base for soups, noodles, or simply enjoy it on its own.
