Ginger is SO good in simple chicken & rice soup... the fast kind where
you just simmer raw chicken in water until done, shred and add it back
to the broth with some precooked rice (mine isn't thick, like jook).
Chopped green onion makes it pretty, but isn't absolutely necessary.
I didn't realize my kids even liked it until DD told me recently that
she craves "Mom's chicken and rice soup" when she's not feeling well.
