FAQs

Can I use fresh ginger instead of minced ginger?

Yes, fresh ginger works perfectly. Just finely mince or grate it to release more flavor in the soup.

Is it necessary to peel the carrots?

Peeling carrots is recommended for a smoother texture and to remove any dirt or pesticides, but if well-washed and organic, you can leave the skins on for added nutrients and fiber.
