So much great information in one meaty post, @misslasvegas. I'm so glad I came across this post. I am a very ginger and garlic person, partially because I am an Asian and also because of their so many benefits. I love how you shared on the different combos of using them. As for coriander, Hahaha it is one of the things I don't know how to enjoy because of the smell. Some Asians love it, some hate it. It is called fragrant herb here among the Malaysian Chinese but some hate the smell that they call it the stinky herb. Oops! But I am learning to eat it because of its benefits. Thank you for the recipe for roasted garlic soup with ginger and coriander. I'm resteeming this as a keeper :)
