Soup is a guilty treat for my husband. Whenever he indulges in a week of rich food, he opts for a dinner of soup one of the days. To keep the soup as light as possible, I make it as a pure broth infused with a lot of ginger and herbs. The amount of vegetables which go in can easily make it a rich broth but the addition of lean chicken makes it a hearty meal. Served with garlic bread (or ciabatta), this soup will help cleanse the pallet for more days of delicious recipes.
