This is a great soup. I added roasted garlic to this and they went together soo well! Then after they had simmered for a while i blended the lot, to add the garlic fully. Also (i dont know if this is really soup-strange) but I simmered it with the sweet potato skins in..just to add that extra goodness then i blended them into it aswell. Tasted great and I know im getting my roughage too! Cheers for the recipe.

great soup...... but to those reviewers who didn't like the consistency and/or texture of the soup , the solution is really quite simple...... blend it!!<br/>i certainly wasn't interested in a watery soup with soggy cashews either, so it seemed obvious to me to blend it for a thick, smooth consistency .<br/>i sauteed a brown onion in the pot before adding the rest. i also added half a head of roasted garlic to the mix. also, i didn't have thyme so threw in a quarter of a bunch of basil towards the end before i blended. and no half and half in Australia, so i used evaporated milk..... delish!! :)
