EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use an immersion blender to easily puree this soup right in the slow cooker. It’s a handheld, wand-shaped blender with a rotary blade at one end that you can put right into the soup.

Gingerroot, has a very different flavor than ground ginger, and they’re not interchangeable. To prepare the gingerroot for this recipe, simply cut away the thin skin, then grate.

Thanks for the info. Maybe this would be better made with butternut squash or kabocha squash.

I hate to say it, but this recipe was a big disappointment. I took some suggestions by earlier reviewers to heart, reducing both the amount of onions and the amount of ginger. While I think the flavors were balanced, my husband and I were not enthusiastic about the taste. He in fact refused to eat anything beyond the first bite, and, while I did eat a bowl of the soup, I decided that it just wasn't good enough to keep the rest.

I enjoy many of the recipes on this website, however this was NOT one of them. There was a strong onion taste and the ginger was very strong as well. My husband and I took one spoonful and then threw out the entire pot of soup. Not something I would recommend to a friend.
