Crockpot Butternut Squash Soup
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Butter Salted
- 1 Small Sweet Onion diced
- 1 Clove Garlic minced
- 1 Large Butternut Squash peeled, deseeded and chopped into 1” squares
- 1 Sweet Potato peeled and chopped into 1” squares
- 1 Teaspoon Thyme dried
- 1 Pinch Curry Powder
- 4 Cups Vegetable Broth this recipe is for quite a thick soup – for a thinner version add more broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ Cup Sour Cream
- Sour Cream and Toasted Pumpkin Seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet and add the diced onions.
- After a few minutes, once the onions have become translucent add the minced garlic and cook for another couple of minutes.
- While cooking the onions and garlic go ahead and prepare your butternut and sweet potato.
- Add butternut, sweet potato, onions and garlic, thyme, curry powder, salt and pepper and broth to the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
- Once cooked use a stick blender to blend soup in the slow cooker (be careful to keep the stick submerged before you turn it on). You can also blend in a regular blender too, if you don’t have the stick blender.
- After blending add the ½ cup Sour Cream and blend again for a minute or so.
- Decorate/garnish with swirls of sour cream and toasted pumpkin seeds.
- Serve with crusty bread.
