Question

Why can't this soup be stored?

It can. You can freeze it for a month or two or keep it in the fridge for a week or so. As wiith most soups, letting them sit in the fridge overnight helps meld all the flavors together.
Question

How many servings does this make?

As the recipe calls for 2 cups of water, it depends on how much you want to eat in one sitting. For my house, ½ cup of soup or perhaps a bit more with the added veggies, is enough so it would serve 4. But if your appetite is bigger, it might only serve 2.
Question

My ginger was placed in my pot when I boiled my peanuts, should I still use it for cooking, or maybe throw it out?

The ginger may have lost some of its oomph from being boiled, you'll probably want to toss it.

Warnings

You cannot store this soup. It has to be had the same day as its made. So always make in limited quantities.

As this soup has a heating effect on the body, its best to be had in small quantities. One cup (approx 200 ml) is fine to be had daily.
