So I was craving soup today. It must be the smell of fall in the air. There is something homey and comforting about a nice warm bowl of soup. I had a surplus of potatoes I wanted to use up so I ran to the grocery store to buy a leek. Now in the fridge I had some jalapenos that looked like they were beginning to go so I decided I must use them to. The result was this spicy, warm, yummy soup.
