One of my favorite things to make in the slow cooker once the weather cools down are lots of tasty and nutritious soups.

This creamy Slow Cooker Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup is one that shows up around here regularly.

I am a big butternut squash fan and love making various versions of this soup during the fall.

Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Soup is perfect for fall.

Everything cooks up in the slow cooker and you can customize this easily with whatever you have on hand.

long with the butternut squash, I added some sweet potatoes to make the soup extra creamy and filling. There’s also ginger, garlic, turmeric, nutmeg and some cayenne pepper. Pumpkin is another great substitute (or addition) if you don’t have any butternut squash.

If you like an extra kick of heat, try adding some red Thai curry paste. It gives this an extra layer of flavor – totally optional but SO SO good.

Once the vegetables for this slow cooker butternut squash are all cooked up, use an immersion hand blender to make it all smooth and creamy right in the slow cooker.

You can also toss everything into your regular blender or a food processor if you don’t have one — just work in batches.
