Tips & Warnings
  • Do not burn the ginger and garlic by cooking them for too long or on too high a temperature. If necessary, turn the heat down slightly before adding them.
  • This soup is great with a garnish. Small strips of ginger or carrot work well.
  • The purpose of cooling the soup is to make it safe to handle and put in the blender. If you can manage to hand blend it without burning yourself, you won't need to cool and reheat it.
