Butternut Squash Leek Soup image

I got this recipe from Cooking Light. I made it according to the recipe directions, except it was the first time I cooked with leeks and I think I used a little of the dark green parts. The magazine picture showed it as orange, and mine came out a little oniony, and green, but it was still good. I'd love reviews to see what you think.

Not bad, but I've had better. The soup was a bit too thick for my taste, and the flavor was a bit bland.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet flavor of the butternut squash and the creamy texture of the soup. I will definitely be making this soup again

I wasn't sure about the combination of butternut squash and leeks, but I was pleasantly surprised. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the leeks added a nice depth of flavor. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, creamy, and flavorful. I love to serve it with a side of crusty bread or a salad.

So easy to make and so delicious! I love that I can use frozen butternut squash, which makes this a great weeknight meal. I also love the fact that it's vegan, so I can serve it to all of my friends.
