  • Whisk dill, parsley, lemon juice, honey, red pepper flakes, 1/2 cup oil, and 1/2 tsp. 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 Tbsp. oil and 1/2 tsp. 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.
