1 to 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
2 medium shallots, peeled and sliced lengthwise

Chef Tips

For bland diet, put shallots in whole for flavor and remove before eating.

If fiber isn’t an issue, you can use brown rice, it will just take longer to cook. For speed, if you have some cooked brown rice in your freezer you can cheat and add ¾ cup to your soup.

If you are calorie counting, use Lite coconut milk for a lower fat content.
