Curried Leek Soup image

New England is known for its hearty soups. I like to experiment with recipes (luckily I have a wife who lets me mess up her kitchen). I came up with this recipe the first year I grew leeks in my garden.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would reduce the amount of curry powder next time.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this soup. The curry flavor is really mellow, and the soup is very creamy.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I make a big batch on the weekend, and then I have lunch or dinner all week.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The soup was still very flavorful.

I'm allergic to leeks, so I substituted green onions instead. The soup was still delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more curry powder or cayenne pepper next time.
