Slow-cooker Butternut Squash soup

November 30, 2015 3 Comments

This recipe for butternut squash soup is probably one of the easiest I’ve ever made, and it is delicious!  Creamy and rich, with a spicy kick of cayenne pepper… it’s just about perfect!

Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup from The V Spot

The beauty of this recipe is that you can buy the prepped cubes of raw butternut squash and just toss everything into the crock pot.  Come back in 6 to 8 hours and it’s just about perfect!

Prep time:  10 mins
Cook time:  6 hours
Total time:  6 hours 10 mins
 
Easy and delicious Butternut Quash Soup, made in the crock pot.
Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (about ½ cup)
  • 2 lbs squash, peeled and cubed
  • 2 c water
  • 4 chicken bouillon cubes
  • ½ tsp dried marjoram leaves
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp ground red (cayenne) pepper
  • 1 8-oz package cream cheese, cubed (Add at the end.)
Instructions
  1. In a 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender.
  2. In a 3 to 4 quart slow cooker, mix onion and remaining ingredients except the cream cheese.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
  4. Use a stick / immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth. (If you don't have one, use a blender or food processor, blending a little of the mixture at a time, or if you'd like it a little on the chunky side, mix with a potato masher.)
  5. Stir in cream cheese. Cover and continue to cook on low about 30 minutes longer or until all the cream cheese is melted, stirring with a wire whisk until smooth.
