Soups with ginger

Some good soups also supped recently:

Beetroot and ginger - based on a recipe but only vaguely.
Lots of beetroot, roasted with chopped fresh ginger root. Blended with stock once done, including all the tasty crusty bits from the roasting dish. Dollop of yoghurt to serve. Fabulous. And very pink. Alas no photo, but you can imagine.

In a restaurant the other day I had broccoli and ginger soup which was divine. Very pale, I'm not sure how. I would guess at some potato and plenty of cream. The ginger, like my beetroot soup above, was fresh and very zingy. A surprising combination which worked very, very well.
Here's a recipe, found randomly on the web.

Itching to try pumpkin and ginger. Autumn is definitely the time. There's a few butternut squashes appearing in the garden, though not sure I'll get away with stealing one and claiming it was a slug invasion....
