Clean, warming, and supportive, this broth is designed for moments when you want something light yet sustaining. The combination of ginger, umami-rich seaweed, and gentle protein makes it easy to digest while still delivering structure and comfort.

It works equally well as a light meal or alongside other dishes when appetite is lower but nourishment still matters.

Ingredients

• 1.6 litres good-quality broth

• 4 teaspoons freshly grated ginger

• 4 teaspoons tamari

• 4 small sheets nori, torn, or wakame strips

• 200g spinach or kale

• 200g tofu cubes or shredded chicken

• 4 teaspoons sesame seeds

Method

Gently warm the broth in a large saucepan with the grated ginger and tamari over a medium heat.

Add the seaweed and allow to simmer for around five minutes to soften and release flavour.

Stir in the greens and protein, cooking gently for a further three minutes until just tender.

Serve warm, finished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Why It Works

Seaweed provides iodine and trace minerals that support thyroid function and metabolic balance, while the warm, savoury broth supports digestion and a sense of calm. Ginger aids circulation and comfort, making this a simple, restorative dish that helps steady energy without heaviness.
