Going to make a soup today. I have a leek that needs using, I also
have plenty of golden nugget squash/pumpkin so thinking about this
combination. Yes or no? I don't think it would be a particularly bad
combo but wondering if the leek's subtle flavour would be lost.

OTOH the leek could wait a couple more days, then I could make potato
and leek soup. Now that combo definitely works well.

Well, we know that potato and leek soup is good. We don't know about the
squash factor. IMO, it would be a waste of good leeks.

Yup... I guess that was the answer I wanted and was expecting
I'll save it for P&L soup on the weekend.

I don't know how Golden Nugget squash is so couldnt tell but if it's a
mild one, it will work.

I think leeks and squash would go well together. I would definitely
play with it. And probably will when squash is in season. Thanks for
the inspiration!
