Ingredients

Scale

Main 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 shiitake 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. Heat oil and caramelize onions: In a large pot, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sweet onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden brown and caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, season, and mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic, pink or sea salt, cracked pepper, shiitake mushrooms, and baby bella or cremini mushrooms. Continue cooking until mushrooms soften and become golden, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add broth and bring to boil: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Add kale and simmer: Once boiling, add the roughly chopped kale to the soup. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  5. Finish with coconut milk and season: Stir in the coconut milk or coconut cream to add creaminess. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use organic and gluten-free broth if available for the best flavor and dietary flexibility.
  • Caramelizing onions slowly is key for a deep, sweet flavor; do not rush this step.
  • For a vegan version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Adjust the amount of coconut milk for desired creaminess.
  • This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a side salad.
