This really was a very simple soup.I liked the fact that half of it got pureed to help thicken it but that you still had the texture from the other half.Not one flavour overpowered another,which made for a very tasty and interesting dish.The cashews were a lovely addition,which we really enjoyed. A simple and delicious soup recipe.Thanks for posting.Made for Newest ZaarTag.

Hello, thought I should update this page a wee bit now we have a new furbaby called Bismila as well as our beloved Maddie who is the star of the photo. I live with my husband Keir in the North East of Scotland between Inverness and Aberdeen, it is very beautiful here. My DH is a keen salmon fisherman and is in the right place to do this! I ran my own pubs and restaurants for many years until arthritis made catering just too much for me, I am 'semi' retired now and can't seem to drag myself away from this site. I have met some wonderful people here and made good friends for which I am eternally grateful.
