This special recipe from my mother-in-law is one that I enjoy making as part of our fall meals. The soup is so pretty that is dresses up the table. We think it hits the spot on crisp evenings. -Maryann Klein, Washington Township, New Jersey

1st time I've ever made squash soup. Very impressed! I think the leeks were very important!

I tried 4 different squash soup recipes from this website using winter squash, and this one was our favorite.

This is the BEST butternut squash soup I have ever tasted! I have tasted many!!! We have made this so many times, we actually double or triple the recipe! It tastes the best when you use LEEKS! It is so mellow and yummy! But a few times I have substituted a large white onion for the leeks when they were a little expensive. If it is the first time you try this soup, make one batch and use LEEKS, you will love it! I also like that it is one of the few b-squash soups that does not use curry. Try this soup!TIP: How to cut and peel b-nut squash: Use a sharp knife. Cut off top and bottom of squash ends. Cut in half width wise, just above the spot where it gets bulbus. Then peel these two pieces. Then cut the bulbus one in half length wise and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Cut into chunks, then cut the other piece of squash into 1/2' disks and then cut into chunks! TaDa! done!
