Directions
Put the garlic, ginger and habanero in a food processor, or blender, and grind to a fine puree, adding a few drops of the limejuice to loosen it up a bit.
Place this in a 1 1/2- or two-quart sauce/soup pan, over medium high heat. Sauté for 10 seconds and removed from heat.
Pour in the broth, return pan to heat, let it come to a slow simmer. Cook for 15 minutes to incorporate all the flavors.
Divide the garnish vegetables between four soup bowls and pour the broth over.
