I made this today, in the food processor as I'm still waiting for the Thermomix to arrive.
It was really lovely, I only used mild chillies from my garden.
Our Aussie weather in NSW has been a bit cool and rainy so the soup was really welcome.

I was wondering what to do for tea tonight when this recipe popped up.  I made 1/2 quantity, used 1/2 tsp sambal oelek, a can of corn kernels and a dessertspoon of chicken stock concentrate.  Delicious thanks JB and thanks mcmich for your comments as they inspired me to make this tonight.
