Place tempeh, garlic, carrots, sea vegetables, and water or stock in a soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes or until carrots are tender. Stir in greens and ginger. Simmer 3-5 minutes…or until greens are tender. Remove from heat. Stir in miso. Add a little sea salt or soy sauce if desired. Sprinkle cilantro or parsley over soup.
