Diets This soup’s velvety texture and delicious, sweet undertones make it the perfect winter companion. When I’m unwinding with dinner after a long day, this is one of my favorite comforting go-tos.
1 tablespoon Tuscanini Olive Oil
3 leeks (white parts only), chopped
1 large Japanese sweet or regular potato, cubed
1 Pink Lady apple, cubed
2 pounds (910 grams) fresh butternut squash cubes (about 5–6 cups)
6 cups water
1/2 teaspoon Pereg Cumin, or to taste
2–3 teaspoons Tuscanini Sea Salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper (optional)
Heat oil in a medium-sized pot. Add leeks; sauté over low heat until soft.
Add the sweet potato or potato, apple, and butternut squash cubes. Add water and spices. Bring soup to a rapid boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for two hours.
Using an immersion blender, blend soup until smooth.

Can i use a different type of apple?
Sure
Can I omit the cumin?
You can, but I’d suggest just using less if you’re not a fan of cumin. I don’t love the smell, but it adds great flavor without tasting or smelling cumin-y at all.
What can I top with when serving?
I’d recommend roasted nuts, seeds, sourdough croutons, or fresh herbs, such as cilantro.
