Feel-Good Winter Soup

The veggies listed are only suggestions – the idea is to use up what you have on hand. You could even throw in some salad greens that are past their prime. Do not substitute powdered ginger for the fresh ginger root! The fresh ginger, garlic and onion are good for you.

1. Bring broth to a boil in a large soup pot.
2. Add the veggies that need to cook longer (such as carrots, celery, onion and potato). Lower heat and cook about 30 minute.
