Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 8 ounces wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

Onions

  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Greens

  • 4 cups kale, stems removed and chopped

Broth

  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until onions are deeply golden and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
  2. Add Mushrooms: Increase heat to medium-high and add the sliced wild mushrooms to the pot with the caramelized onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth, season with remaining salt and pepper, and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes to meld flavors.
  4. Add Kale: Stir in the chopped kale and continue simmering for another 5-7 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.
  5. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot for a comforting and nourishing meal.

Notes

  • Use a mix of wild mushrooms like shiitake, cremini, and oyster for more depth of flavor.
  • Caramelizing onions slowly is key to developing natural sweetness; do not rush this step.
  • For a richer soup, add a splash of white wine when adding mushrooms.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freezes well.
  • Make it gluten free by ensuring the broth used is gluten free.
