Ingredients

  • 1 litre of vegetable stock
  • 2 leeks, sliced
  • 0.5 pint of double cream
  • 1 handful of chives, chopped
  • 2 butternut squash, peeled and finely diced
  • 4 tbsp of olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped

Method

  • Step 1

    Saute the diced butternut squash in a large pan with olive oil for approximately 5 minutes. Add the leeks and garlic and saute for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 2

    Season with salt and pepper and pour in vegetable stock. Bring this to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, until the butternut squash is tender.

  • Step 3

    Stir in 5 tablespoons of double cream and heat for another minute or so. Transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth.

  • Step 4

    Return to the pan and warm gently. Spoon into serving bowls and finish with a swirl of double cream, a sprinkling of chives and freshly ground black pepper - lovely!
