- Cook's Note:
- The recipe uses milk to keep the soup light, but substitute cream for the milk and you have a richness factor that adjusts the recipe from delicate to decadent.

VERY good recipe. Thanks Diana! The only thing I did differently is substitute the russets for yukon gold potatoes, which I like better. Also, used only about half the curry powder. Very yum...
