I made this for Christmas dinner. It was delicious! I did add ginger and then a dollop of sour cream to each soup bowl. All of my guests loved it.

Looks delicious! Can I substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth? Does this soup freeze well with addition of ginger? Thanks!

For those of you who added thyme, parsley, and chopped fresh ginger, what amounts did you add, and as for the thyme and parsley, was it dry or fresh?

Excellent recipe. It was very easy to make and I did add in some fresh ginger and parsley because I read the comments and figured that that would be a great addition. It was smooth and subtle in taste. Loved it.
