Spicy Ginger-Soup

My mother made this for us a few days ago and while I was a bit skeptical at first, I was quickly convinced. The soup is easy to make, uses few ingredients, and it tastes wonderful. I highly recommend  you give it a try!

Zutaten: 

100 gr fresh ginger (sliced, but not peeled)
2 EL freshly grated ginger

500 ml stock (I used beef stock)

1 tablespoon flour

2 tablespoons butter

50ml single cream

Cayenne 

Salt and pepper

Preparation: 

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the flour. Stir until well mixed. Add the stock and the ginger. Stir well until the flour-butter mixture has dissolved and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. 

2. After 10 minutes remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the ginger to infuse the soup for an hour. Then remove the ginger. 

3. Add the cream and the grated ginger. Season to taste with salt, pepper and some cayenne. In case the soup is still too thick, just add a little water or stock.
