Easy Crockpot Butternut Squash Soup

 
Happy November! I hope everyone had a great Halloween yesterday.  I am SO excited for this season. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and this chilly weather is calling me to the crockpot! I really don’t use the crockpot a lot in the summer, unless I am making chicken stock. I have been so beyond obsessed with my Instapot that I really put the crockpot to the side until lately. Nothing beats the smell of something cooking in the slow cooker all day. Nothing. 
 
 

I love this recipe because it is super passive and very simple. Not only is it delicious and creamy, it’s perfect nutrition. I like to use a homemade chicken stock for this recipe which adds a ton of dimension and gut-healing properties, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. 

My whole family loved this recipe, even my super picky children. It’s funny, before I had kids I was the “perfect parent”. I was SURE my kids wouldn’t be picky, as they’d be given healthy foods from the get-go. HA-HA! I could not have been more wrong. I hide lots of things in their food to trick them. Whatever it takes… But anyways, trust me.. make this.. and let me know how it turns out!
