1 x 300 g baby leeks punnet, thinly sliced
3 T olive oil

500 g ready-to-use butternut chunks
3 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup vegetable stock

Soften the leeks in the oil until tender, then stir in the garlic. Add the butternut and stir. Add the carrots and the stock, then the thyme and a little seasoning. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender.
