Equipment

  • large pot

Ingredients
  

For the soup base

  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, sliced ½ inch thick
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or pink salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 cups whole shiitake mushrooms

Instructions

  • Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced sweet onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in the finely chopped garlic, sea salt or pink salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Add the whole shiitake mushrooms and the sliced baby bella or cremini mushrooms to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and begin to turn golden.
  • Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine with the sautéed mushroom mixture. Bring everything to a boil, then add the loosely chopped kale leaves. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Uncover the pot and stir in the coconut milk or coconut cream. Let the soup heat through for a minute or two. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.

Notes

For a fully vegan option, use vegetable broth and coconut cream. This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
