Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 6–8 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
