I have already done a review of this soup which is also in the soup section but thought I had better do one here too. As the soup was far too thin for us, I added 380g cooked potato pieces and blitzed it carefully (the bowl is very full at this stage) and it thickened up nicely. I also used cashews instead of almonds and added a teaspoon of chicken stock as well for flavour. If you follow this recipe I would only use 500mls water to start with - you can always add more later.
