====== Ginger Cream Soup ======
/* Description */

This is without a doubt the most luxuriant dessert I've ever had.

I found this dessert in 1999 in Praque while I was visting my "Freakin' Foreigner" brother Uwe.  He took me to the Circle Line restaurant and the waitress talked me into trying the soup.  Here's how I described it in my travelogue: "All this, it turned out, was but a prelude to the dessert; ginger-cream soup with a ribbon of chocolate syrup and quartered strawberries.  Lions and tigers and bears- oh my!  I have never tasted anything like it.  Crisp, clean, sweet, lightly creamy, a touch of tartness and full of ginger perfume.  I have rarely been so disappointed to see the bottom of a soup bowl in my life.  My latest cooking mission has been found- re-creation of the perfect ginger soup.  A worthy challenge on a par with the great quests from Greek mythology." Yes yes, a bit hyperbolic, but I still remember that first taste.  The next afternoon I was talking about my quest with Uwe and he thought that the concierge at the hotel he managed at the time (I think it was a Hilton) could get the recipe from the restaurant.  She called, and after about 15 minutes of discussion and a strict promise that I would not use it in a restaurant in Prague, she got it.  Her written notes are below.  

I've made it once since and it was just as good.  It kind of demands a really fancy dinner party and I haven't had an occasion since.  Soon, hopefully.
