Just made this soup and it's really yummy!!! Cheers for sharing the recipe. I never would have thought to use garam masala or sherry but will from now on. :)

Made this the night before last - quite yummy! The garam masala definitely gave it a little extra something :)

You didn't say when to add the celery, so I added at the same time as the leeks - was this the right call?
