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~

Nami | Just One Cookbook says
I love leek and I make soup with it too. Next time, I’m going to DEFINITELY try with your curry and apple flavor. Sounds even better with the spice in it!
Brandie @ Home Cooking Memories says
I was seriously just looking at a leek and potato soup recipe last night, thinking I should plan it for dinner. I think your version would be wonderful with the apples!
Kit @ i-lostinausten says
Awesome soup with lovely flavors! YUM! 🙂

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
mjskit says
What a fabulous fall soup! Love the apples and leeks!!!
Sarah says
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?
Soni says
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!
Alice Choi says
Love this! so unique! thanks for sharing!

This looks amazingly delicious and it’s Gluten Free too as long as you purchase gluten free curry powder.
Nancy @ gottagetbaked says
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.

ooh curry! I’ll bet this is amazing–not just the curry, but of course, the bacon. Bacon makes everything taste good!

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.
