Slow Cooker Chipotle Butternut Squash Soup

Simplify your dinner plans and soup making with this delicious Slow Cooker Chipotle Butternut Squash Soup.

The week before Christmas, I was invited to a Scarves and Soup party.  It is such a fun idea!  A friend of mine invites her girlfriends over for a lunch of homemade soups and everyone brings some type of scarf for a gift exchange. It is that fun type of gift exchange where you can choose to unwrap a new gift or steal one from someone else.  I ended up with a scarf I love and a some delicious new soup recipes.

The soup I brought was a delicious Chipotle Butternut Squash Soup.  I was pretty busy the day before the party so I needed something easy, and this slow cooker soup recipe is perfect.  I love butternut squash soup and the chipotle peppers add some heat and a nice depth of flavor.  You can control the heat of the soup by adjusting the amount of chilies you add.  I put in two and there was just a nice subtle heat to the soup.  That heat is balanced out with a little brown sugar and some onions to add a little sweetness.

Let it cook for  3-4  hours or until the squash is nice and tender.  Then, use an immersion blender or put it in your blender and mix until the desired smoothness.  I prefer mine nice and smooth.

Finally, serve it with some crumbled bacon and chopped chives on top!
