Step 1
Begin by melting butter in a spacious saucepan over medium heat, allowing its rich aroma to fill the kitchen.

Next, introduce the sliced leeks or chopped shallots, sautéing them for about three minutes until they become tender and fragrant.

Then, add the cubed butternut squash, a sprinkle of curry powder, and a touch of brown sugar, stirring occasionally for an additional two minutes to enhance the flavors.

Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes, or until the squash is perfectly tender.
