Review : This is a great dish to bring to a potlock dinner party. It is simple to make, the taste is fantastic and it is always one of the first items that runs out. However, it is also a soup for the bachelor type of person who comes home and wants to prepare a simple soup just before the hockey game on TV... it is very popular among sports fans. It can also replace your traditionnal chicken soup when your are home with the flu. It is also said to be an excellent choice for a romantic dinner since ginger has a reputation for being a strong aphrodisiac.
