Overall it was pretty good for a vegtable soup. It didnt say where to add the ginger in so i just added it in the end. I also substituted a jalapeno for half a habanero since my grocery store was out of jalapenos at the time and i love habaneros. I used plain diced tomatoes since i couldnt find the ones called for and added some galic powder at the end. Very tasty, but a bit salty.
