Crockpot Butternut Squash Soup

Soup is so easy and a favorite meal around here. There is something very comforting about a bowl of soup. This Crockpot Butternut Squash Soup is so easy thanks to the crock pot and a great lunch or dinner option.

The texture is smooth and creamy. If you haven’t tried butternut soup, I highly recommend it.

Some of the kids were initially unsure of butternut squash soup but once they tried it, they loved it! It has such a rich flavor and is amazing.

What can you serve with butternut squash soup recipe?

Our favorite combination is a simple salad with mixed greens and these  Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls . The soup is perfect for dipping and the rolls help you get every last drop.

Feel free to grab a loaf of french bread from your local grocery story or bakery and serve that with the soup. Just do what is easiest for you!

You need a good crockpot for this slow cooker soup.

There are some really good ones on sale right now. If you work all day, you may want to invest in a programmable crock pot.

They are awesome because you can set them to start later, or to stop and switch to warm once the dinners are ready. Amazon has some on sale right now too.

I also really like this crockpot.  Now, it’s not programmable but it’s so handy!

It has the feature where you can lock the lid down.

That feature is so nice for when you take meals to potlucks or need to transport the meal somewhere.

Now if you want to save yourself even more time then I really recommend these Crockpot liners. They make clean up a breeze.

Instead of scrubbing and washing the pot, you can just toss the liner. It is practically no clean up.

Ingredients for butternut squash soup recipe:

• Minced Garlic
• carrot Stick, peeled and chopped
• Medium Butternut Squash – peeled, seeded and diced
• onion, chopped
• salt and pepper
• Maple Syrup
• nutmeg
• cayenne (also try our Best Cayenne Pepper Substitute if you don’t like cayenne or do not have any in your pantry)
• vegetable or chicken broth
• unsweetened coconut milk

How to make butternut squash soup:

Add all the ingredients except for the coconut milk to the crock pot.

Cover crock pot with lid, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Add the coconut milk to the crock pot for the last 30 minutes of the cook time.

Use an immersion blender or a traditional blender to puree the soup until smooth after this cook time.

Serve warm.

Recipe Notes:
The cayenne pepper adds a spice to the soup. If you do not like spice, I recommend leaving it out. I topped mine with some additional coconut milk and parsley.

Time saving tip:

This recipe like many calls for diced onions. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions.

If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have children that are picky.

I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.

This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

Learn and  how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen!

Anything we can do to save time in the kitchen is a winner around here. It adds up to more family time and less time in the kitchen!

Give this delicious soup a try!

Crockpot butternut squash is so tasty and creamy. The crock pot makes it really so simple. If it is a really busy week, sometimes I pick up pre cut butternut squash to save a few minutes from having to peel and cut.

You can also add a mixture of squash and applies or squash carrot blend. We love to try new things and the flavor can’t be beat.

The immersion blender gets the soup to the perfect consistency. The coconut milk also adds a creaminess that is so amazing. Everyone will enjoy this soup.
