Laminaria (seaweed) has been considered a valuable product since time immemorial. It is especially popular in Asia and Latin America. This seaweed contains many useful substances and is especially rich in iodine. A large number of dishes are prepared on its basis, combined with a wide variety of ingredients. I will share 2 recipes for seaweed soup.
On a note. For the preparation of first courses, you can use both fresh and dried or canned kelp. The latter before adding to the broth will need to be thoroughly washed in hot water from the remnants of the brine.
