Ingredients for Grain Bowl Soup

• 450g mixed wild mushrooms, cut into 1/4" slices

• 350g mixed baby heirloom cherry tomatoes

• 2 shallots, thinly sliced

• 180ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more

• 1/2 cup finely chopped dill (from about 2 bunches)

• 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley (from about 1 bunch)

• 60ml fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon honey

• 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

• 725ml cooked grains, such as barley, quinoa, rice, farro, or spelt

• 1 large or 2 small bunches curly kale, stems removed, torn into pieces

Arrange a rack in centre of oven; preheat to 218°C. Toss mushrooms, tomatoes, shallots, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1/2 teaspoons salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until mushrooms are golden brown and tomatoes are deflating, about 15 minutes.

Whisk dill, parsley, lemon juice, honey, red pepper flakes, 120ml oil, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Meanwhile, bring stock to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add cooked grains and let simmer 5 minutes. Add mushroom mixture and let simmer 5 minutes more. Season with salt.

While soup cooks, toss kale, garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoons salt on same sheet you used to roast mushrooms, then arrange in a single layer. Roast until kale is wilted and crisped in places, about 4 minutes.

Divide soup among bowls. Top with kale mixture and herbed oil.
