  • Seaweed is incredibly good for you — rich in vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, and the macro- and micronutrients our bodies need. Kelp also contains an enormous amount of iodine, and no amount of cooking reduces it, which makes it a great way to help support thyroid health. This seaweed gets used in salads and soups, and it's also pickled and dried; in any form, it's very nutritious. Here I'd like to offer you a soup made with pickled seaweed — quick and easy to make, with excellent flavor. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes; the smaller the cubes, the faster the soup cooks. In a heavy-bottomed pot, sauté the chopped onion and carrot in a little vegetable oil, stirring constantly. Add the potatoes to the sautéed vegetables and stir everything together, then pour in the broth. (You can use plain water here for an excellent vegan version, and adjust the amount of liquid to get the soup as thick or thin as you like.) Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook, covered, until the potatoes are tender — about 10 minutes. While the potatoes cook, prep everything else: peel and finely mince the garlic (or press it), rinse the bay leaf, and roughly chop the herbs. Cook the rice separately until done — this keeps the soup's broth from turning thick and cloudy, which can happen when raw rice is cooked right in the pot. Now for the finishing touches: add the seaweed and rice to the pot with the cooked potatoes and turn the heat to high. Once the soup boils, add the bay leaf, garlic, and herbs. Taste for salt and adjust if needed. Stir and immediately remove from the heat. Cover and let the soup rest for about 10 minutes — this gives the flavors time to come together and the soup tastes all the brighter for it. Sprinkle with allspice when serving. It's delicious with a dollop of sour cream. Bon appétit!
