Notes
The secret to this soup being what I claim "the world's most healing soup" is the ginger, kelp, whole head of garlic and oregano. If you do not have culinary oregano essential oil you can use dried or fresh oregano. Also, adding ghee gives this soup a buttery hint of flavor. Ghee is actually clarified butter which means the milk solids are removed and it is super good for you! I am a fan of grass-fed butter too but I will leave that up to you. If you need this to be FreeDiet approved exchange the sweet potato for other options like butternut squash, or zucchini. I highly suggest you make this soup before flu season and freeze it in small 1 serving glass jars for when the need arises. Make sure to leave a few inches from top to allow for expansion when freezing. Please use all organic ingredients in this soup when you can.
