Instant Pot Mushroom Broth
This basic mushroom broth made in an Instant Pot is used for flavoring soup, pasta, and rice. Any combination of mushrooms can be used, but I find that baby bellas make the richest, most flavorful broth. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor, but since I do not know the specifics of what you will be using this for, I kept it basic and left them out. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
