Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Substitution: Avocado oil or coconut oil work great too.
  • 1 medium Onion Opt for yellow or white onions for the best results.

  • 8 ounces Mushrooms Choose varieties like shiitake or cremini; fresh mushrooms are best.
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth Select low-sodium broth for better control over saltiness.
  • 4 cups Kale You can substitute with spinach for a milder taste.

  • Fresh Herbs Adjust based on your flavor preference.
