SLOW-COOKER BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Much of the work for this soup can be done in advance, and it keeps all day in the slow cooker. This can easily be doubled if you're feeding a crowd. Once you've tried it, try mixing it up-add save or savory with the thyme or replace it with nutmeg. For a vegan version, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth. -Jennifer Machado, Alta, California

Tips:
- Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is heavy for its size, with a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash with bruises or soft spots.
- Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup: This step intensifies the flavor of the squash and makes it sweeter.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Don't overcook the soup: Overcooked butternut squash soup can become mushy and bland. Cook the soup just until the squash is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for butternut squash soup include croutons, bacon, sour cream, and chopped chives.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover butternut squash, and it's also a good option for a vegetarian or vegan meal. With these simple tips, you can make a delicious butternut squash soup that your family and friends will love.
