I love this soup because it is thick & creamy without using any cream. I had a huge Butternut squash, and some leeks left from the garden, and this is what developed.

A delicious, hearty, healthy soup! I halved the recipe & substituted with an acorn squash. The mandatory wine was "Sauvignon Blanc" direct from Toolie's cellar - I enjoyed a glass while the soup was simmering. Thanx Toolie & Lois!Reply
