Come autumn and the crisp cool air just feels so good in the mornings.I’m enjoying this transition of the weather and the lovely warm and comforting foods that come along with it!Talking about autumn, its also the season of Apples!.This lovely fruit is one of my most favorite things to cook/bake with and I can think of so many ways to use them in my sweet and savory creations.So when my friend Cindy from Cindy’s Recipes and Writings suggested ‘Autumn Apple Party’ as the title for this #SundaySupper I jumped with excitement 🙂

I’m bringing a savory item for this event and its already becoming a family favorite, going by the verdict of my 4 and 9 year olds :)Its my creamy Curried Apple and Leek Soup that has so many varied flavors that tickle your tastebuds in just the right way.I found the original recipe at All Recipes and added my own twist with the bacon and paprika! The soup is slightly acidic from the Granny Smith Apples,with a slight hint and heat of the spices combined with the creaminess of the potatoes. The flavors further elevate with the garnish of the salty, crisp bacon!One bowl full of goodness for this Fall~

    My first experience with pureed soup was an asparagus soup, I feel in love with it:-) I love your soup, and what a lovely idea to add the tart granny smith with delicious leeks! Looks fantastic, Hugs, Terra

    This soup sounds perfect for snuggling up in a warm blanket by the window on a fall day. I saw that you referred to bacon as rashers? Do you live in the UK? I had a friend from Ireland call sausage rashers. Is it the same thing?

      Lol, I just meant ‘pieces of bacon’ and have heard people refer to it as ‘rashers’ in the UK :)No idea what sausage rashers mean though!

    Love this combination. I’m a huge leek fan, no idea why I love it so much but I just do. I’m always looking for ways to use it.

    Mmm…I could almost taste the intense and varied flavours of this soup as you were describing them. What a fabulous combo that I would never have thought of. This is why I love our Sunday Supper group – I’m always being introduced to amazing recipes like this one.

    Now I KNOW I would love this and so would my family. Since the weather has now gotten really cold I think I need to make us this to help warm up us. Thanks for sharing it.

    I love that you went savory with the apple theme! I always think sweet, and forget the wide variety of options out there for apples and savory flavors. Delicious!

    I love this idea. It’s a little like a vichysoisse, but then the apple and the curry (always a terrific combination) takes it into new territory. I simply must try this.

    What a beautiful presentation and description, I can almost taste it – “I swear” 🙂 Bravo, Soni!!

    I do enjoy a good potato and leek soup and have never thought about adding curry or apples. I have to try this. What a great soup.

    Wow…this is like the hot version of smoothie with varieties of fruits and vegetables in it. I love you add in curry powder in it…delicious!

    This dish sounds so unique and flavorful! Plus, the sprinkle of bacon on top totally did me in…yum!
