This easy-to-prepare broth has a rich, slightly sweet flavor from carrots and onions and subtle earthiness from mushrooms. Use it in any recipe that calls for vegetable broth or as a substitute for chicken broth. It’s excellent for soups and stews—or turn to it instead of water when you cook rice or other grains. Don’t have a slow cooker? Place all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer about 1 hour.
