Yield 4 large bowls

Number Of Ingredients 8

1.5 lbs butternut squash, peeled (making sure to get down to the tender part, which may take a couple of layers) and cubed

Olive oil
1 cup water
2 cups chicken stock
1/3 cup cream
Salt and pepper to taste

  • Heat oil in a pot. Sweat onions and leeks a bit, then add water, chicken stock, and a bit of salt. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat. Cook until squash is very tender, about 20 minutes.
