Servings 10
Ingredients
- 4 pound butternut squash, peeled and cut into large cubes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Peel and cut your butternut squash into large cubes and add them to a large mixing bowl. Peel and chop the carrot and onion into similar size pieces, then add them in the same bowl.
- Add in the smashed garlic cloves and ginger. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Toss to combine, then pour into your slow cooker insert along with the vegetable broth.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours, or until fork tender.
- Transfer everything to a high-powered blender and puree until smooth. You might have to do it in 2 batches, depending on the size of your blender. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender instead.
- Pour the puree back into your slow cooker, then add in the coconut milk and maple syrup. Continue cooking for 10 minutes.
- Serve with a drizzle of coconut milk over the top and (optional) pumpkin seeds and/or fresh thyme.
Recipe Notes
If you don't mind the sugar/carbs, you can use regular maple syrup instead of the sugar-free version that I use.
