The Ultimate Immune-Boosting Soup by The Heavenly Maven

1 T coconut oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 lb shiitake mushrooms
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp turmeric
12 cups water
4 heads baby bok choy, bottoms chopped off
1/2 head kale, chopped
optional: 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
Chop off the bottom of the stem from your mushrooms and discard. Separate stems from tops and slice tops and remaining stem if necessary, into large pieces. You will only discard the very bottom of the stems, not the full stems as they contain many nutritional benefits! Heat up coconut oil in a 12 Quart Stock Pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add in celery and mushrooms and sauté for about 10 minutes or until mushrooms have wilted. Add in spices (including ginger, if using) and water cover and increase heat to medium until a water seal forms. Cover and reduce heat to low for approximately 1 hour (the longer you leave the better). Add bok choy and kale in the last 10 minutes of cooking to wilt. Serve warm or store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
