1 tablespoon olive oil
16 ounces wild mushroom mix, diced small
2 frozen sauteed chopped onion cubes
1 thick sprig fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 mini sweet peppers, small dice
1 tablespoon grained Dijon mustard
4 cups vegetable stock
One 15.5-ounce can white beans, rinsed
1 cup shredded kale, optional, further chopped
Lemon wedge, for spritzing
Hot sauce, to taste (I like Tapatio, Cholula or Texas Pete here)

Steps:

In a medium pot on medium-high heat, add the olive oil, mushrooms, onion cubes and thyme. Saute until the mushrooms are tender and wilted, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the peppers and cook until they soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the mustard and move it around the pot so it basically coats everything and disappears. Add the stock and beans. Lower to a simmer and cover. Let cook, 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the sprig of thyme, then add the kale, if using, and stir. Serve with a spritz of lemon and a shake of hot sauce.
