# What You Need:

→ Soup Base

01 - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
02 - 1 large sweet onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick
03 - 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
04 - 1 teaspoon sea salt or pink salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
06 - 2 cups whole shiitake mushrooms
07 - 2 cups baby bella or cremini mushrooms, sliced
08 - 4 cups chicken broth or gluten-free vegetable broth
09 - 2 cups loosely chopped kale leaves
10 - 1/2 cup coconut milk or coconut cream

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté, stirring often, until thoroughly caramelized and golden, about 10 minutes.
02 - Stir in the garlic, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
03 - Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the shiitake mushrooms and sliced baby bella or cremini mushrooms to the pot. Sauté until the mushrooms have softened and released their moisture, about 6 minutes.
04 - Pour in the chicken broth or gluten-free vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to integrate flavors.
05 - Stir in the chopped kale leaves and coconut milk or coconut cream. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the kale is tender but vibrant.
06 - Taste for seasoning and adjust with more salt or pepper if needed. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Caramelizing the onions develops deep sweetness and enhances the overall richness of the soup.
