- Remove and reserve vanilla bean. Strain syrup through a fine sieve into a large bowl; throw away ginger, star anise and cinnamon stick. Scrape the seeds from each half of the vanilla bean and stir into the strained syrup. (Don't throw away vanilla bean. Place dry bean in sugar to make vanilla sugar.)

- Divide soup among six chilled serving bowls. Garnish with mint, if you like.
