Seaweed (Nori) Soup

Seaweed (Nori) Soup

This Japanese seaweed soup recipe started as something I found off the back of a seaweed package but has been adapted several times so that it can be made quickly with ingredients from most large grocery stores — or a local Asian grocery if you prefer. Nori is the Japanese word for dried sheets of seaweed.
