Watercress and Soy Milk Soup

This is a simple yet nutritious soup which can be cooked in minutes. It is healthy and quick to make. Lots of ginger is added which is same as those sweetened soymilk drink with ginger juice added to it. Reduce the amount of ginger, if desired. If you are using those unsweetened soy milk from the supermarket, dilute the soymilk with water or vegetable stock for a “light” soup, if desired.
