Method

Halve the leek lengthwise, rinse thoroughly and chop the white and light green parts only. Discard the tough dark green parts.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion and leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

Add squash, stir to coat with oil and continue cooking 10 minutes longer.

Add stock and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until squash is tender, about 20 minutes. Let soup cool slightly.

In a food processor or blender, purée half of the soup until smooth. Take extreme care when puréeing a hot liquid.

Mix purée back into soup and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Top with toasted pecans and serve.
