Note

• For a make-ahead freezer meal: Prepare as directed, leaving out cashew garnish. Cool and freeze in gallon freezer bag or freezer-safe container. To prepare, allow to thaw then heat to a simmer before serving.
• This is a great versatile meal to use up any leftover vegetables - toss in the last carrot top, zucchini end, and handful of mushrooms before they go fuzzy!
