Recipe Notes:

  • *Dulse and Nori are types of seaweed and easily substituted for any flaked variety of seaweed available
  • Soups such as this are a great place to make use of any fresh herbs that have gone floppy and are past their prime. Once immersed in water the herb will wilt anyway and no one would be the wiser.
  • To flake seaweed which come in sheets, simply cut with scissors into small bits
  • All of these ingredients should be available at local grocery stores in the international foods aisle or natural foods section. If they are not available in your local grocery store, check Asian supermarkets or order the ingredients online. Most of the items required have long shelf lives and are large enough to last for many recipes. 
  • The contents of the jars should last for 2-3 days in the fridge before the boiling water is added
  • Make sure the containers you select can tolerate boiling water. Glass jars or food storage containers should list this on the packaging.
