Just pop out the needed amount right into your dishes. Fresh Herbs are chopped perfect to add to soups and stews in seconds. Doesn’t this sound having a sous chef in your own home?
HOW FRESH ARE THESE HERBS: At peak freshness, Dorot Gardens pull their products from the fields, process and flash freeze into their convenient trays within 90 minutes of harvest.
With a two-year shelf life, you can have fresh garlic, onions, and herbs year round. Nothing replaces fresh herbs from the garden, however in Virginia winter means no herb garden.

I am totally going back to buy the frozen ginger. How often do you buy fresh ginger for a recipe, to only throw away the rest. Now you can have these flavors in convenient little cubes to use at your leisure. 
This soup recipe is a simple weeknight meal that the kids will go crazy for. You can choose either turkey, pork or even vegetarian Italian sausage as your protein.
Just pop in your basil cubes at the end and allow them to slowly defrost into your soup.
Once the soup is finished, add a generous dollop of the ricotta mixture. It will slowly melt into your lasagna soup so we kept more on hand.
Since I made this a few hours before dinner, I did not add the pasta to the soup. I boiled water in a separate pot and then added them to each bowl and ladled the warm soup on top.
