1/4 cup (50 mL) diced celery

1 tbsp (15 mL) soy sauce
GARNISH
Sautéed sliced shiitakes, chanterelles, or enoki mushrooms

Steps:

1 In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots and celery, cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add cremini mushrooms and thyme; cook until mushrooms are tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Add porcinis (with soaking liquid), water and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 1 to 11/2 hours, or until reduced to 8_cups (2 L). 2 Strain stock through a strainer, pressing on mushrooms to release all their liquid. Pour into saucepan and keep warm. Garnish with sautéed sliced shiitakes, chanterelles or enoki mushrooms, a sprinkle of chives and a splash of brandy.
