Instructions
- In a large 4-quart stockpot over medium-high heat, add 1/2 cup of the parsley, the kale, spinach, carrots, garlic, ginger, seaweed, Italian seasoning, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Pour the stock in, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
