This traditional recipe formulated by Dr. Henry G Bieler, is great for increasing alkalinity, promoting detoxification, and supplying a great amount of minerals and vitamins in an easily accessible form.

I made this for the Sept ‘07 potluck with all the great vegetables from my food share from the Owen Sound market. Simple, no skill required! I put the leftovers in a pot, added a bit of water, and pureed with a handblender for instant soup. Also a quite tasty meal!
