Seaweed (Nori) Soup

SUBMITTED BY: ROSEYCAT 

"This 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."
