F. You only dirty ONE dish!

G. Super tasty! I swear to all things holy that this is the best butternut squash soup I’ve ever had.

I know. That was a lot, but I’m just SO excited about this crockpot butternut squash soup.

Did I mention that it’s really yummy? Because it is.

And it’s easy! Today, we’re using butternut squash, an apple, a carrot, a jalapeno, a yellow onion, some garlic, and a few spices! Throw all that into your slow cooker and top with lime juice and vegetable stock. Give it a stir and you’re good to go!

When the crockpot butternut squash soup is done, your veggies will be soooo ridiculously tender. You’re going to stir in some light coconut milk and puree the whole with your immersion blender (or if you don’t have one, using a regular blender) until it’s ultra creamy and delicious.

That’s it! It’s ready to serve up. Now, while this soup is great on it’s own, if you’re looking to kick it up a notch, I’d definitely suggest adding a few toppings: fresh cilantro, cayenne pepper, coconut cream (chill a can of full fat coconut milk in the fridge and the top layer will become thick and creamy), and coconut bacon.

Coconut bacon. Say whaaaat? Read more about that here. But basically, coconut bacon is like the vegan version of bacon. It’s crispy. It’s smokey. It’s addicting and it’s only made with unsweetened flaked coconut (<– click the link to see what I mean, it’s not the flakes you typically find in the baking aisle), soy sauce, liquid smoke 🔥 , and maple syrup. All your favorite bacon-y flavors, but vegan!

It’s takes about 10 minutes to make in the oven and seriously makes this crockpot butternut squash soup even more delicious and adds a seriously yummy crunch!

Make this crockpot butternut squash soup if you’re looking for a super healthy, super tasty, vegan, gluten free dinner!
