Notes & Tips:

• During the cold months, I regularly make soups for my kids' lunch. They're warm, healthy and delicious. And don't forget easy!

• This soup can be made with a combination of milk and stock.

• I have used left over baked sweet potatoes to make this dish too.

• If you don't like ginger and/or garlic, omit those ingredients. Cooking is an art - it's versatile - add or remove ingredients according to your preference.
