• 3 tablespoons dried sea vegetables (choose from whole kelp, dulse, sea lettuce, laver and other favorites)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 teaspoons hemp seeds
• 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon fresh or dried sage leaf
• 1/2 teaspoon maca powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon dried cayenne (whole dried or powder, approximately 40,000 IU, a measurement of heat units)
• 1 pinch sea salt

OPTIONAL:

• 1 clove garlic
• 1/8 teaspoon MORE dried cayenne

Instructions

1. Blend in a high-speed blender on high for 1 – 2 minutes.

The soup should end up quite warm (because of starting with warm herbal tea and the warming friction of the blender) and creamy with the sea vegetables well blended. Blend longer if using a smaller blender. Feel the love for the holidays.
