*muchi curry powder is a blend of turmeric, cumin, ginger, black pepper, coriander, fenugreek, garlic, cloves, cayenne pepper and caraway. (I have the whole foods brand). Substitute any curry spice you like, if you're sensitive to spice, start with less and add more to taste.
If you over-spice your soup, add a splash of white wine vinegar to tone down the heat.
