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 was easy to make and so flavorful! I used a combination of butternut squash and acorn squash and it turned out great. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little bit of spice. I will definitely be making this again!
