Mary's Two Potato Soup

Directions

Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the leeks, garlic, and red pepper and sauté until the leeks are translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.

Add white and sweet potatos, and return to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer gently until the potatos are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Cool slightly.

Purée in a blender or food processor until smooth and return to the pot.

Bring the purée to a simmer, then reduce the heat.

Stir in the curry powder, garlic powder, turmeric, lemon juice, and mint.

Simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes until the flavors have mingled.

Serve hot with a sprinkle of chopped peppers.
