Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while cooking. You can substitute fresh ginger with ground ginger, but use less. For creaminess, blend in coconut milk or serve it on top. The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
