Peanut Vegetable Soup with Coconut Milk

A simple soup today with carrots, leeks, peanuts and coconut milk. It is quick to make, vegan, low cost and delicious. I used a mild curry powder to make it, but you can easily make it spicier by using a hotter curry powder or curry paste, if that is what you have.

Not much talk today, I am going out again to enjoy the wonderful weather.
