Chop the onion coarse or fine, as you prefer. Melt the
margarine in a large casserole or soup pan. Saute the onion in the margarine until it is transparent. Add the spices and cook a moment or two longer.
Now, add the ground cashews and the water, then simmer the soup until it is thick. You can always add a little more water if it thickens too much.
Stir the chutney into the soup, and ladle it into bowls. Top with a spoonful of soy cream.
Serves 4-6.
Savory Cashew Curry Soup:
After the onions are sauteed, add the extra margarine and the sliced mushrooms. Saute till tender. Cook the spices as before, and add the cashews and water. Three to four minutes before you serve, add the chopped parsley to cook a bit. Serve with the soy cream, if desired, or with more chopped parsley on top.
