 Garlic Soup
(feel better soup!  Great aid for colds, flu and yucky feeling days)
ingredients
                6 cloves of garlic, chopped
                2 small onions (white or yellow), chopped
                2 inches of ginger, peeled and grated
                2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
                2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil
method for above ingredients
1) Saute’ the above ingredients until tender.  Place half of the sauteed ingredients in a food processor or blender with 1 to 2 cups of veggie broth or chicken broth and puree.  Add puree mixture and the sauteed ingredients in a soup pot. 

Then add these ingredients



                1 to 2 cups broth and 1 to 2 cups of water to mixture, both being equal amounts
                big pinch of dried mustard
                3 to 4 inches of fresh rosemary twig, pulling off leaves from stem
                ½ to one teaspoon of sea salt
                5 shakes are more, from the cayenne pepper shaker
                big pinch of rubbed sage
                About one tablespoon of thyme, if you have fresh even better!  Add more if fresh
                3 tablespoons of dried parsley or if you have fresh even better! Add a cup if fresh. 
                2 tablespoons of Vegit or all-purpose seasoning.
                a few shakes of kelp                                                            
                a few shakes of dulse
                3 twigs of Wakame seaweed, cut into small pieces
Place soup pot on low or med-low heat



                3 cups total (veggie of choice) such as:  diced carrots, peas, cut kale, cut collard, cut chard, green bean, arugula, spinach, diced red or yukon potato.  Leafy greens should always be added the last five minutes of cooking. Arugula and spinach can be thrown in the very last minute,


When making for younger children or your inner child perhaps?  Add approximately 2 to 3 cups more of water or broth and throw in either: alphabet pasta, egg noodles or barley!  It’s about feeling better but we can make it fun!  Cook until it is done.  Don’t over cook the veggies!
