Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 1 large sliced onion, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the onions turn a rich golden brown.
  2. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, along with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Next, add 8 ounces of sliced wild mushrooms, stirring to combine. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms soften and turn golden.
  3. Pour in 6 cups of vegetable broth, raising the heat to high. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, watching the bubbles break the surface. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low.
  4. Add 4 cups of chopped kale to the pot, stirring gently. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of creamy coconut milk for a luscious finish. Let the soup simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.
