Ingredients
1 Butternut squash, Medium
size (About 3 pounds), Peeled, Seeded, Cut into small 1-inch pieces
1 cup of Onion, finely
chopped
2 Carrots, medium-sized, roughly chopped
2 Apples Peeled,
Cored, roughly chopped, Any variety
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
powder
1 tablespoon Curry
powder
3 cloves of Garlic finely
minced
1 teaspoon Ginger
powder
2 Bay leaves
2cups Vegetable broth
½-3/4 Heavy cream or
coconut milk
Instructions
Add
butternut squash, onion, carrots, apples, salt, pepper, cinnamon powder, curry
powder, garlic, ginger, bay leaves, and broth in a 6-quart crockpot. Since I
use a 3-quart crockpot, I boil the butternut squash until it’s soft and tender, then I add it to the crockpot with the other ingredients.
Cover and cook on High heat
for 4 hours or until all the vegetables are tender.
Remove and discard bay leaves.
Use a handheld immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer the soup in a
few batches to a blender and puree until smooth.
Mix in heavy cream. Enjoy!
Side Note
Leftovers can be stored in a
sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
