I had to read the attached feature to realize this soup was to be served cold.
No leeks so used a chopped onion. Squash amounts to about two. Easy and delicious right out of the pot. Can't wait to see what sitting a day will do to it.
I wish I had the soup described by your writers. I didn't have leeks so used a large shallot and I added Turmeric and when cooked and tasted, I had to throw it out, it was horrible. Could it have been the two substitutes?
