Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for small, tender yellow squash that are deep yellow in color. Avoid squash that are large, pale, or have blemishes.
  • Prep your vegetables: Clean and trim the leeks, squash, and celery. Cut the leeks and squash into thin slices, and chop the celery.
  • Cook the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks, squash, celery, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the broth and spices: Pour in the vegetable broth, chicken broth, cumin, coriander, and paprika. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Puree the soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Chill the soup: Let the soup cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
