Broth of Life Soup

Broth of Life Soup (estimations)
6 stalks celery
1 bunch swiss chard
2 beets + greens
3 carrots
1 bunch of fresh parsley
1 bunch of fresh thyme
2 inches of fresh ginger, sliced
5 large cloves of garlic
small piece of kombu
water to cover
--simmer above ingredients covered for 2 hours--strain & save. Drink as you like to keep you breathing. (Honestly, it's great for congestion)
For a meal if you have the appetite, cook 1/4 c of basmati rice in 3 cups broth. If you've had too much ginger tea and you're starting to overheat, top your broth with chopped cilantro.
