20 Minutes Tomato and Ginger Soup
When it starts to get cold, I always look for comfort in the recipes I cook. I have a BIG weakness for soups, because there are so many possible combinations of ingredients! On the other hand, I often find that they take a lot of time to prepare, so I thought I’d offer you an express soup with Asian flavours. This soup is comforting, fragrant and refreshing, as well as being ultra-quick to prepare! Garnishes are essential!
