SQUASH & LEEK SOUP
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.

WATERCRESS AND LEEK SOUP
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes. Add broth, potato, and the water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until potato is tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add two-thirds of the watercress and cook until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes. Working in batches, purée soup until smooth in a blender, being careful not to fill jar more than halfway each time. Return to pan and season soup with salt (reheat over medium if necessary).
- In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Add remaining watercress and toss. Serve soup topped with watercress.
- about watercress
- Watercress is a dark, leafy green with thick stems and a peppery taste that mellows once it's cooked. Look for bunches with bright, glossy green leaves that haven't begun to wilt. Wrap in paper towels and refrigerate in a plastic bag up to 3 days. Always wash watercress just before using-place in a colander, and rinse well with cold water. Dry thoroughly and trim off thick stems.

Season frizzled leeks with salt. Leeks may be fried 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Serve soup topped with frizzled leeks.
