Ingredients
1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (for a dairy-free option)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Directions
- Add the butternut squash, onion, garlic, apple, vegetable broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the squash is very tender.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.
- Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and maple syrup, adjusting seasoning if needed.
- Serve warm, garnished with a drizzle of cream, pumpkin seeds, or a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
Notes
- This soup pairs beautifully with a crusty loaf of bread or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. It’s the ultimate bowl of comfort that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor.
