Curry warmth with extra oomph…

Curried potato soup is a simple enough recipe. Potato, leek, and garlic meet cream, stock, and spices. But sometimes simplicity belies the real flavor impact of a meal. It’s exotic, yet comforting. Plus, for us spicy food fans, it’s a tick beyond “warm” in the heat department with the extra oomph provided by cayenne pepper.

This is a soup highly dependent on its spices, so adjust the curry powder and cayenne to your liking. Serve this with a crusty loaf of bread and you have a very satisfying light meal.
