Basic Sea Vegetable Broth image

Kelp and/or kombu make great soup stock! Their abundant minerals and natural "MSG" impart richness to soup usually associated with meat. Serve as an appetizer or use as stock. You can find kelp and kombu at your local health food store. Adapted from "Sea Vegetable Celebration" by Shep Erhart and Leslie Cerier.
