In the pitcher of a blender, add chilis. Cover with warm water, place lid on blender and let sit for 15 minutes. When chilis are soft, blend until smooth.
In a large pot over medium high heat, heat olive oil. Add onions, garlic and mushrooms. Sweat for about 15 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Add kale and rice and season with salt and pepper.
Add stock, pepper puree and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook, uncovered, for about 20 minutes.
