A few months ago I visited the local VFW for their Soup Sale. I was able to stock up on some soups made by members and their families. My favorite one was this Ginger Chicken soup that was so delicious and had such a great flavor to it. I reached out to the perosn that made it and was able to get a base recipe. She said it's really good for helping you feel better too if you're under the weather. I added my spin on it and created this really bright tasty soup, that I can't seem to stop eating.
