-  - While the squash is cooling, melt 2 Tbsp. of butter in the pot over medium-high heat. +
-  - When the butter begins to foam, add the chopped leeks and stir. +
-  - Reduce heat to low and cover, cooking for 20–30 minutes until the leeks are caramelised, then deglaze with the sherry. +
-  - Increase heat to medium and add the shallots, carrots, the flesh of the squash, and the chicken stock. +
-  - Puree the soup with an immersion blender and simmer for 10–15 minutes until well-combined. +
