4 raw soup recipes

Hello!

I’d like to share with you some of my favorite raw soup recipes. I enjoy serving them at room temperature but if you prefer them a bit warmer, you can heat them up to 115 F (45 C) without destroying their nutrients. You can substitute sea salt in these recipes by using Dulse flakes (seaweed).

Enjoy!
