...This was delicious! I made my own mushroom stock.<br /> I had made my own vegetable stock and froze it, I pulled it out for this recipe and realized I needed the mushrooms. So I went to an Italian deli and found dried wild forest mushrooms. A handful thrown into the now liquid veggie broth, warmed it for a few hours on the stove till the mushrooms rehydrated and viola! Beautiful mushroom stock!

And I'm making it in Switzerland, so the Swiss cheese was the real thing :) <br />It's hard to get mushroom stock here, so just in case anyone else has that problem as an alternative I soaked some dried (shitake) mushrooms (about 100g) in about 5 cups of very hot water for about 30 mins, took out the mushrooms and added a bit of veg stock and that came out great as well (and made a tasty Thai mushroom soup the next day with the soaked shrooms).
