Edamame Soup With a Twist

Mareesme's Note:

Now that I'm seeing shelled edamame (healthy blanched soybeans) frozen in bags at the store, this soup is easy and quick to make. I used jarred fresh ginger, because I was out of the regular ginger. Other vegetables could be added, but this is the basic redipe. The Asian flavors make this a winner, and even people like me who aren't as health-conscious as they should be should like it..

I've been making this for some time now. However, I do substitue Thai Basil for the Ciltrano and use fresh ginger whenever possible.
