Great timing, since I was out of soup.
Then yesterday I watched Kate on Last Homely House making soup, this one cashew ( which she pronounces kshOO), and carrot, and I thought, well, that's one I haven't tried.
So tonight I made it, cashews, carrots from the freezer, knew I'd use them soon, ginger, frozen, chunks ready for this, onion, freezer, garlic likewise, are you seeing a pattern? How to be ready!
I did notice two schools of thought on the cashews: one that you soak, drain, rinse, faff around, but don't add them till the soup is done, and Kate, who slung a handful in right from the container and cooked them along with the rest of the ingredients. I soaked briefly, but did chuck them in with the soup right along.
And it worked a treat. I wondered if I'd like this, maybe a bit sweet.
Found that my only complaint is there isn't enough. Next time I'm doubling the recipe because it's wonderful. I like enough soup for now, and tomorrow and a few helpings in the freezer. This recipe made three bowls. Need more!
The best part of winter is soup.
