Step 1

First, peel and dice the butternut squash and carrots. Dice the onion, and chop the garlic cloves. Add these vegetables, along with the remaining ingredients, to a slow cooker.

Step 2

Slow cook the soup on high for 4-6 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours. Avoid removing the lid from the crock pot as it cooks.

Step 3

Use an immersion blender to blend the soup, or alternatively blend the soup with a regular blender in batches, until the soup is completely smooth.

Step 4

Optionally, you can add a splash of cream or oat milk to make the soup slightly more creamy before serving the crock pot pumpkin soup.
