Hot spice sick one quietly put in soup (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

chilli powder

'hot spice' is the definition.

'sick one quietly put in soup' is the wordplay.
'sick' becomes 'ill' ('ill' can be a synonym of 'sick').
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'soup' becomes 'chowder' (chowder is a kind of soup).
'ill'+'i'+'p'='illip'
'illip' going into 'chowder' is 'CHILLI POWDER'.

(Another definition for chilli powder that I've seen is " spices".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
