Make this easy, healing soup during cold and flu season. It's packed with allium-family vegetables like garlic, leeks, and onions! Add as much grated ginger as you can tolerate. I like to use a microplane grater to quickly and easily grate the fresh ginger. It's best to use a homemade vegetable stock or homemade chicken broth as it will give the soup a really nice depth of flavor.
