Instructions
Notes
*Do not add too much ginger as it causes the soup to be 'spicy' - unless you like it that way and/or it's a cold day and you need some kick from the ginger :) Since I was intending to give it to my girl, the soup has definitely gotta be not spicy!

For toddler's consumption:
Cut sweet potato into small cubes.
Avoid over-use of ginger.
