You will need:

  • 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.*
