Here's some light, bright winter warmth for you: ginger. Wake up your mouth, warm up your throat, open your eyes and clear out your nose. Ginger-lemon tea, hot, fresh ginger-honey-lemon drink (slice, squeeze, squeeze), Creamy tomato coconut soup. The soup is courtesy of some magazine ripping that I had stashed for who-knows-how-long in the "To try" pile. It has been made a couple of times now, slightly altered and needs to move into the recipe binder. Until then, it will sit in the "To do, To file" basket. My method and madness are now exposed for everyone to see. A creative A-type I am, in this instance.
Creamy Tomato Coconut Soup
2 cups tomato sauce
1 14 oz can coconut milk
1.5 cups water
2 tsp chicken or veggie broth
4 slices fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, sliced
