Nice and Warm, I usually roast butternut squash and then I add it to soup.
ReplyDeleteGreat, how health conscious you are, dear..!
ReplyDeleteNice and delicious. Will try it for my kid with some cream for him.
ReplyDeleteJeena, I just tried this for my son's lunch. I had to omit the leeks as I didn't have any and I added some cream to make it thicker. He still eats pureed foods , so this was perfect for him. He loved the taste and didn't make a fuss while eating which he normally does. Thanks for sharing it.
