I Love Butternut Squash Soup

With fall in full swing, new flavors are all around us from pumpkin spice to butternut squash everything. Butternut squash is such a versatile vegetable that can be used as the base of many dishes from not only soup, to pasta sauce and even stuffed to make a perfect entree.  One of my favorite dishes this time of year is butternut squash soup.  I mean who doesn’t love butternut squash soup? It is healthy, delicious, and oh so comforting.  Plus, it can be eaten again and again through the course of the week.

Because butternut squash is such a favorite in our household, we decided to call this recipe…

To make this recipe even easier.  I throw all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours. Once soup is cooked, I use an immersion blender to make this dish nice and creamy.  Then I top with toasted pumpkin seeds and dive in!
