Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and carrot. Cook, stirring often, until softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, tomato powder, and 3 tbsp water and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add kale, increase heat to medium, and cook until wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp olive oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ciabatta and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add just ½ tsp Italian seasoning and toss to coat.
