Cook and Strain Broth

Start by adding the mushrooms, onion, carrot, celery, salt, bay leaf, and water into your Instant Pot or any similar pressure cooker. Secure the lid and set it to cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. It will take some time for the pressure to build up, so be patient. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally—this usually takes around 30 minutes. When it’s safe to open, carefully remove the lid. Let the broth cool down for about 20 minutes, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the vegetables and herbs. Your mushroom broth is ready to use!
