I love the autumn because it means I can make my favorite soup in the slow cooker-- Butternut squash soup. Easy recipe and delicious!
- 1 yellow onion
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut in chunks
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Chives and sour cream for garnish
Saute the onion with butter for 5 minutes then add the spices. Add the onion mixture to the slow cooker along with the butternut squash, brown suger, and a touch of salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low for 8 hours, then use a blender to smooth the soup in sections. Garnish with sour cream and chopped chives.
