Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 sliced sweet onion and sauté until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir in 4 cloves of finely chopped garlic, along with 1 teaspoon of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup each of shiitake and baby bella mushrooms. Increase the heat slightly and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, until mushrooms have softened and begun to brown.
Pour in 4 cups of organic chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Once boiling, add 4 cups of chopped kale leaves. Reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of coconut milk or cream, blending until the soup is uniformly creamy and warmed through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
