This was way too spicy. I gave a teaspoon to the baby because she seems to like strained carrots and she screamed and spit it out and cried for 10 minutes. Even my husband Chunky Fred couldn't tolerate it. He loves hot wings so he likes spices but he took one spoonful of this and started to sweat and turn red. I did get the baby to eat some more of it and she seemed to get used to the heat- waste not want not! Next time I make it I will cut way down and use only 1/2 jar of jalepenos and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne.

This was good, but extremely hot. I just used the curry powder, not the cayenne, and it was still so hot I had to cut it with lots of yogurt. I would cut it down to a half tablespoon or tablespoon at the most. I also added a cup of applesauce because I liked it a little sweeter. And I added a bay leaf.

I used this basic recipe to make ginger carrot soup instead as my husband doesn't like curry. I just substituted equal amounts grated ginger for the curry powder and switched out the cayenne to chili powder and a pinch of nutmeg. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that I think it would have been better with a touch of cream, however I didn't have it on hand.

I didn't have sour cream so did a little drizzle of heavy cream, and that was a good substitute. It doesn't make as much as most soup recipes make, but you don't need a lot to feel satisfied. I used 1 T of curry and 1/4 t of cayenne, and I felt it on the back of my throat very nicely, even with the cream. I didn't feel it was missing celery or garlic, so trust the recipe - at least the first time you make it!

I pretty much followed the recipe with the following exceptions;
I used regular carrots and cooked a bit longer,
used S&B Golden Curry sauce mix 1 1/2 cubes Medium/Hot
added two cloves of garlic
added Thai chilies instead of cayenne
and this is very important, I used a blender instead of a food processor. (Much better consistency

After I reheated the soup I added raisins and unsweetened shredded coconut to the bottom of the bowl before spooning in soup and let steep for about five minutes before serving.
I tried with and without coconut and raisins and prefer the addition of both.
If I would have had fresh mango I would have added some as well.

Don't forget the sour cream.

Let me know what you think.
