Excellent soup, easy to do. Haven't used curry paste, instead added extra curry powder. Also, try adding 1/2 tsp of nutmeg when adding the cream ... A restaurant quality soup!

Good easy soup to make. Did not have any curry paste so I left it out and it was still good. Substituted evaporated milk for the whipping cream and regular onion for the leeks. Thanks for the recipe

This was a nice, easy soup. I did not add fresh ginger, but used powder instead. I also didn't have any curry paste, so I added about two teaspoons of curry powder. Yum.

I, literally, had three of my friends pushing each other out of the way to scoop out the last spoonful of soup in the pot. I did not use 22 cloves of garlic as posted in the recipie, but only used two. I made it again the next night and the leftovers were wonderful the next day for lunch. Fantastic and easy.
