Add two cups apple cider, two cups water, one quarter teaspoon nutmeg and one quarter teaspoon sea salt. Stir and cook for twenty minutes.
Remove one tablespoon marjoram leave from stems and remove marjoram buds from leaves. Add marjoram leaves to soup at the fifteen minute mark and continue cooking.
