sting9, as there is no Bin Inn in the greater Wellington area, my only suggestions would be Moore Wilson or the Mediterranean Warehouse but.....I am not a local so I cannot promise you that you will find the stock powder there - I hope these suggestions help tho'.:-))

Some of the stock powders are getting harder to find. Maggi discontinued its onion stock powder too, but I have found both here in Bin Inn in Brighton.

Hi team your right no Binn Inn in Paraparaumu where I live.The Mediterranean we have here does not sell it either.Because I want it for tommorrow night I have improvised, and will use mushroom soup powder....worth a try don't you think?Next time I am in town I will try Moore Wilson.Thanks martin5 for your kind offer, but surely I will manage to get it.If Not then I will re-jig this message and maybe you will read it!

Mushroom stock is easy to make, just make a normal vege stock but add 400g of mushrooms to it. You can also add dried powdered mushroom to the stock as well to give an extra boost.

I have used mushroom soup powder before when I made mushroom rice - it works all right, but because it contains milk powder the texture isn't quite the same. Tastes okay though :-)

Maybe, just get a dry mushroom soup packet (Continental or Maggi)

I have brought a Maggie mushroom so will give it a try.I'm kind of guessing that I would not use the whole pkt but maybe treat it like stock powder, any thoughts? the recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of boiling water and 2 tsp Mushroom stock there is also 1/4 cup cream.As dragonzflame pointed out the soup has milk powder in it, so maybe miss out the cream as well

Basically,I would make my own and not be bothered with the Maggi powder. Just make some stock (pork or chicken bones) and add the mushrooms, with salt and pepper and corn flour to thicken.

Dried mushrooms from an Asian supermarket are full of flavour.

Yes, they are. But the flavour is different. Just like navel oranges vs tangeloes.

Thanks for all advise but bottom line is I'm not going out again tomorrow so will make do with the soup, will tell you how it goes!

The mushroom soup in the risotto worked just fine.I did have some porcini mushrooms in the cupboard so I soaked about5 of those in the hot soup and it turned out yummy
