Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium leek, chopped (3 cups)
- 1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed (6 cups)
- 1 small cauliflower head, chopped (4 cups)
- 2½ cups low-sodium vegetable broth (reserve ½ cup)
- 2 cups milk (1%)
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon powdered garlic
- 1 teaspoon basil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Directions
- Heat butter in a large pot. Add leeks and sauté on medium, until softened. Add butternut squash and sauté another 5 minutes.
