Did you like the way it turned out, then?
Satisfied your tastes?

It sounds a bit too spicy for me;
I've never used capsicum, but that sounds spicy, hot, and peppery, right?

Curry, I just never cottoned up to. Wish I did.

Bolognaise sauce? Never used that.

I hope it came out the way you love it!

I like carrots in mine.... and celery or lovage or bay leaves or basil....
White beans or lima beans would also be nice for me.

Soups can be tweaked for individual needs and likes, and for what one does or doesn't have on hand. One of the great things about soups.

Most capsicum in Australia is very mild.
I often use in stirfrys and salads.

The soup was tastier than I expected.
Subtlety was the key. Capsicums (Bell Peppers) have a nil heat factor.
On the Scoville heat scale they rate 0 points.
That is why I added the curry powder. Perfect amount. Not overpowering but a great full flavour.
Keens Curry powder is a mixture of turmeric, coriander, fenugreek, black pepper, chilli, allspice and celery.
The Bolognaise sauce had been in the pantry for months. Great way to use it.
Next soup will have a cup of raw chopped cashews added.
I have had the soup for lunch at wok this week. Filling and flavoursome.

That sounds excellent, when you describe the details like that!
Even sounds good to fussy me!

I had vegetable soup for lunch today.

Time for another batch of soup.
Same recipe because it was scrumptious.
With half a cauliflower added.
