Preparation

Step 1

Combine the broth and soy sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the mushrooms and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until done to your liking.
Combine the arrowroot cornstarch with just enough water to dissolve in a cup or small container.
When the broth reaches a steady simmer, slowly whisk in the arrowroot or cornstarch, stirring constantly until the liquid is thickened.
Remove from the heat and whisk in the basil and optional nutritional yeast. Use at once.
