This was so fast and easy! Delicious recipe. I added a healthy grating of fresh ginger (just because I needed to use some up). I added the raisins and dried cranberries at the end and used my hand blender. It seemed a bit surprising to me but I tried it and was glad I did. Nice balance of savory, sweet, spicy, and salty. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Delightful soup! i omitted the raisins only because I didn't have any, but the flavor was still very impressive. I will double this next time--it really only made 2 servings for me. thanks tebo--this is a keeper!
