Squash & Leek Soup image

I love this soup because it is thick & creamy without using any cream. I had a huge Butternut squash, and some leeks left from the garden, and this is what developed.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover squash. It's also a very affordable meal to make.

This is the best squash soup I've ever had! It's so creamy and flavorful, and the leeks add a nice touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of squash, but this soup was actually really good! The leeks and the creaminess of the soup helped to balance out the squash flavor.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I often add a bit of diced ham or bacon for extra flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

This soup was a hit with my family! The flavors of the squash and leeks blended perfectly, and the soup was creamy and comforting. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, and it turned out perfectly. Will definitely be making this again!
