Warm, comforting, and filling, Scottish Potato Dulse Soup is a perfect meal for cooler days. The addition of nutrient-rich dulse seaweed adds a unique twist to this classic potato soup. Seaweed is a nutrient-dense food that is commonly consumed in Asian countries and is growing in popularity in the Western world. It is a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as iodine, iron, and calcium, and contains antioxidants that may reduce inflammation and support overall health. In this recipe, the dulse seaweed adds a salty umami flavor to the soup, which complements the creaminess of the potatoes and makes for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Instructions

1.	Peel and dice the potatoes.
2.	Rinse the dulse seaweed and cut it roughly.
3.	Add the potatoes and dulse seaweed to a pot and pour in 2-5 cups of water depending on desired consistency.
4.	Bring to a boil and then simmer until potatoes are soft.
5.	Remove from heat and blend until smooth with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches.
6.	Add salt and pepper to taste and lemon juice.
7.	Serve hot and enjoy!
