Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves pressed
- 1 cup of diced yellow or red onion

Instructions
- Preheat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Once hot, add garlic and onions and cook, stirring frequently for 2 minutes.

- Add pasta and kale, lower the heat to medium then simmer for 12-15 minutes, until pasta is tender. Remove Bay leaf and serve immediately.

Notes
- Do not soak your fresh mushrooms in water when cleaning them, for they will absorb the liquid like crazy, and you will have a difficult time browning them. It is best to place them in a colander then quickly rinse them in running water. Or just use a clean wet cloth to wipe them clean.
- It’s important to serve this soup immediately after it’s made because the pasta will soak up quite a bit of liquid if it sits around too long.
- Do not overcook your pasta, or they will turn mushy. Follow package instructions for cooking time. Make sure to start checking on the pasta 2 minutes prior. It should be chewy yet still a bit firm.
- Add a bit of spiciness to your soup by using a pinch or two of red pepper flakes or chili powder.
