In a large pot, melt the butter (or oil) over medium high heat. Add the mushrooms, celery, and onions and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the water and stock and bring to a boil then immediately reduce to simmer; then add the spices. Let simmer minimum 15 minutes. Add the noodles and kale, stir, simmer another 45 minutes.
Notes:
- If you juice carrots use this recipe is a great way to use the pulp. If you do not have pulp, then grating will be just as good!
- I used spelt noodles for this recipe.
- Chicken stock can be used if desired.
- The coconut milk can be added to this soup if desired.
