Very different, and very thick and rich, I used chicken stock in place of vegetable stock, increased the garlic way up and added in some Parmesan cheese. Lots of pepper is a must in this soup, I made this for my DH, he loves cashews and potatoes, he really enjoyed this filling soup, thank you bluemoon!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
