It’s packed full of the good stuff for little ones, and is so delicious, the whole family will love it!

And the best bit, it’s so quick and simple to make!

Go on, give it a try, I’m certain it will win you over too!

You will need:

  • 1 butternut squash - peeled, deseeded and cubed
  • 2 sweet potatoes – peeled and cubed
  • 2 leeks – washed, and sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic – crushed
  • 24.5fl oz (700ml) vegetable stock
  • Oatly cream if desired

Method:

In a large saucepan, add the butternut squash, sweet potato, leek and olive oil and fry over a gentle heat for around 8-10 minutes until softened, stirring frequently so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan.

Add the garlic, and stir well.

Pour over the vegetable stock, stir to combine, place a lid on the saucepan and leave to simmer for around 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the heat, blend until smooth and serve with a drizzle of Oatly cream and some crusty bread.*

Enjoy!

* for younger children, remove some of the liquid prior to blending to create a smooth purée
