Notes

Substitute 4 cups chicken vegetable broth with 4 cups water + 1-2 stock cubes. To make a vegetarian soup, use vegetable broth or stock.

Substitute 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped or grated, with 2 teaspoons of powdered ginger. Add then with the broth, not the onion.

This soup keeps well in the refrigerator and it can be frozen. It is a good recipe to cook ahead.

Garnish with croutons, grated carrot and herbs.
