For a vegan option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth and use a plant-based cream alternative instead of half-and-half. If you prefer a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a small piece of fresh ginger along with the crystallized ginger. The soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
