directions

  • Saute the vegetables. In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
  • Cook the soup. Put the squash chunks in the slow cooker and sprinkle with the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. Pour the contents of the frying pan over the squash and add the broth. Cover and cook on the high-heat setting for 3 hours or the low-heat setting for 6 hours.
  • Finish the soup. Using a blender or food processor, working in batches, process the squash mixture to a smooth puree. Return the soup to the slow cooker to keep warn until serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, garnish with a dollop of the sour cream and chives (or parsley) and serve.

  1. This is a great tasting soup. Added carrots and celery. Yummy flavor.
     
  2. Just finished making it and it's delicious! I roasted my onions and butternut squash first to soften them both up and then followed the recipe. I also substituted one cup of the broth with cream. I love a creamy base to my soups, and this worked well. Great flavor!
