Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 tbsp smart balance spread
    5 cups cubed peeled butternut squash (~1.5 lbs)
    2 cups chopped (1/2 in) cauliflower
    1 tsp kosher salt
    1/2 tsp black pepper
    2 cups sliced leek (about 2)
    4 cups fat-free chicken broth
    1 cup fat-free half & half

Directions

Melt butter in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add squash, potato, salt, and pepper to pan; saute 3 minutes. Add leek; saute 1 minute. Stir in broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until cauliflower is tender, stirring occasionally.

Place half of potage mixture in a blender. Remove center pice of blender lid (so steam can escape) and put lid on blender. Cover the hole with dishtowel to avoid spatters. Blend until smooth, then pour into a bowl. Repeat with the rest of the potage.

Stir in half & half. Serve immediately. Serves eight.
