Instructions

Step 1

Add vegetable stock, garlic, carrot, apple, butternut squash, sage, onion, salt, pepper, cayenne, honey, brown sugar, peprika, cinnamon and nutmeg to a large slow cooker. Toss to combine.

Step 2

Cook for 6-8 hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high, or until the squash is completely tender and mashes easily with a fork. Remove and discard the sage. Stir in the coconut milk, almond milk or even Mocha Mix.

Step 3

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. (Or you can transfer the soup in two batches into a traditional blender, and puree until smooth, being very careful when working with the hot liquid.) Taste, and season with additional salt, pepper and cayenne if needed.

Step 4

Serve warm, with optional garnishes if desired.

Step 5

Optional garnishes extra coconut milk, almond milk and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper (or smoked paprika) or sour cream. To add crunch top with toasted onions, pumpkin seeds or garlic chips.

Step 6

See the note one the site, which was a smart add a medium-sized butternut squash should weigh around 2 lbs or so, or about 2 1/2 cups, (so you would need about 32 ounces if buying pre-cut butternut squash).
