Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup chopped leek (white and pale green parts only; about 1 medium)
1 teaspoon (scant) coriander seeds
1 1/4pounds yellow crookneck squash, coarsely chopped
1 (14-ounce) can vegetable broth

Step 1
Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add leek and coriander and cook until almost tender, stirring often, about 6 minutes.

Transfer to bowl and chill uncovered until cold, about 3 hours. Season with salt.
