Squash Leek Soup

I love this soup because it is thick & creamy without using any cream. I had a huge butternut squash, and some leeks left from the garden, and this is what developed.

In a large pot , saute the onions , ginger , leeks , and garlic in the butter until soft.
Add the chicken stock , and wine and simmer about 20 minute.
Transfer to a large bowl or measuring cup.

Puree.
Return to pot and add salt , pepper to taste.
