Mushroom broth is a savory liquid made by simmering mushrooms, aromatics, and water. It delivers deep umami with an earthy aroma and a light, clean body, making it ideal for soups, risottos, pan sauces, and braises. Sold as ready-to-use cartons, concentrates, or bouillon-style powders.

Vegetable-based stocks have long histories in European kitchens, while dried mushroom broths developed prominently in East Asian cuisines using shiitake and kombu. Modern versions draw from both traditions and are widely produced commercially and in home kitchens.
