Instructions

  • Prep the leeks by removing the outer layer and chopping the roots and a bit of the base and also the deep green top. Make a lengthwise cut on the top to make sure you can clean all the possible debris and dirt trapped inside. Once cleaned cut into wheels.
  • Peel the onion and slice thinly. Peel the carrot and cut it into wheels. Peel the butternut squash and cut into chunks.
  • In the pot or pan add half of the oil and saute the sliced onion with a bit of salt on medium-low heat until it turns soft, translucent, and fragrant.
  • Add the rest of the veggies into the pot or pan and mix well.
  • Cover with the chicken stock and cook on medium-low for 30 minutes until the potatoes, carrots, and butternut squash are tender.
  • Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil. Que aproveche! (Enjoy your food)
