Ingredients
 
 

  • 12 oz Butternut Squash - peeled & cubed
  • 2 Leeks - washed, trimmed and sliced thinly
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic - minced
  • 5 cups Vegetable Broth - or chicken broth if not vegetarian
  • ¼ cup Heavy Cream (Double Cream) - if desired
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C
  • Spread the cubed butternut squash and sliced leeks out on a parchment lined baking tray.
  • Drizzle over half the olive oil, a pinch of sea salt and good twist of black pepper. Toss until everything is well combined then spread out on the tray into a single layer.
  • Roast the vegetables for around 30 minutes until squash and leeks are starting to turn golden brown.
  • Take the tray out of the oven and set aside a few of the golden brown leek slices for the garnish.
  • Add the roasted veggies to a large pot or Dutch oven along with the remaining olive oil and the minced garlic cloves. Stir over a medium heat for a minute or so as the pan comes up to temperature.
  • Add the broth to the pot and season again with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Bring to a boil over a high heat then turn down to a simmer for around 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Stir in the heavy cream if using (this is optional - it's still delicious without the cream but less rich).
  • Use either a hand held stick immersion blender or a stand blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth.
  • Taste and season again as needed.
  • Serve immediately with reserved leak for garnish.
