Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
5 cups butternut squash, cubed & peeled (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 cups russet potatoes, cubed & peeled (about 12 ounces)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups leeks, sliced (about 2 medium)
4 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

  • Place half of potato mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl.
  • Repeat procedure with remaining potato mixture.

  • Cover and keep warm.
  • For Gruyere Toasts:.
  • Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Broil bread slices 2 minutes or until golden.
  • Ladle 1 cup soup into each of 8 bowls; top each serving with about 1 teaspoon chives. Serve 2 bread slices with each serving. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
