Ingredients

  • Wild Mushrooms: 8 oz, sliced – Brings earthy depth and umami flavor to the soup.
  • Onion: 1 medium, finely sliced – Caramelized for natural sweetness and richness.
  • Kale: 4 cups, chopped – Adds texture and a fresh, vibrant contrast to the soup.
  • Vegetable Broth: 4 cups – The savory base of the soup.
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced – Adds a fragrant, zesty punch.
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons – For sautéing the mushrooms and onions.
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste – Enhances the natural flavors of the soup.

  • Bay Leaves: 2 leaves – Provides depth and subtle flavor to the broth.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced onions to the pot. Sauté for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown.

  4. Assemble the Dish: Stir in the thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a simmer.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the broth to reduce slightly.
