Ingredients

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 sweet organic onion, sliced to about ½” thickness

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp pink or sea salt

½ tsp cracked pepper

2 cups shitake mushrooms, whole

2 cups sliced baby bella or cremini mushrooms

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (organic and gluten-free)

2 cups organic kale, roughly chopped into bite-sized pieces

½ cup coconut milk or coconut cream

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the pot, and stir for a minute or two until fragrant.
  3. Add the mushrooms to the pot and continue cooking until they soften and turn golden.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, add the chopped kale and stir. Lower the heat and let the soup simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk or coconut cream, and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Vegan Version: Use vegetable broth and coconut milk/cream to keep it vegan.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
  • Mushroom Variety: Swap in other types of mushrooms like oyster, portobello, or maitake for more flavor depth.
  • Add Protein: Add shredded chicken or tofu for a heartier version.
  • This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
