Mother Earth Ocean Soup

Author and herbalist Susun Weed shares her Mother Earth Ocean Soup recipe:

3 onions, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 potatoes, cubed
2 carrots, sliced
2 parsnips, sliced
cup dried or fresh wild greens
cup dried seaweed of your choice
12 cups pure water

Simple instructions:

Sauté onions in oil until brown.

Add all the remaining ingredients and cook until vegetables are done.

Adjust seasonings adding sea salt as needed and let mellow overnight or serve immediately.

Sodium is not to blame for high blood pressure. Sodium chloride may be. Table salt may be. But table salt contains sugar, aluminum salts, and several other agents as well as sodium chloride. This is an unnatural salt solution and one that creates cardiovascular stress. The naturally occurring sodium in seaweeds (and garden weeds) bathes the inner being with rich salty nourishment, like the amniotic fluid of our original home. This sodium relieves tension in blood vessels made brittle by immersion in the wrong saline solution, table salt. (Note that commercial sea salt is usually as full of free flowing agents and other addenda as commercial table salt. Real evaporated seawater salt is pinkish in color. As usual, if it’s white, you can’t trust it.)

Seaweed is a wonderful green ally to use with other Wise Woman ways when healing those with problems of the heart and circulation including atherosclerosis, hypertension, chilly extremities, varicosities, heart infections, repressed feelings, and self blame.
