What is kombu?  I don't think I've ever seen that.

It's a seaweed that you can find at a health food store. It's great to add to soups to help with the gas issues. Some people don't notice a difference but I have while using it. I really don't know what I'm doing differently.

P.S. By the way, this soup is great for anyone that has hypothyroidism.
