Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and celery; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture, about 5 minutes.

Add water, bay leaves, thyme, black pepper, and salt; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes to develop flavor.

Skim any foam that rises to the surface during simmering.

Remove from heat and strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.

Discard solids and return the clear broth to the pot.

Stir in lemon juice and nutritional yeast for added flavor.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve hot or cool and store for future use.
