Slow Cooker Thai Butternut Squash Soup
This Slow Cooker Thai Butternut Squash Soup is super easy to make and offers rich, creamy texture with a Thai flavor twist!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs peeled and cut butternut squash, in roughly 1” chunks
- 2 cups low sodium fat free chicken broth, or vegetable broth to make this vegetarian
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk, the beverage, not the canned kind
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Combine the squash, broth, coconut milk, onion, brown sugar, soy sauce and sriracha in a slow cooker and stir together. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-2 ½ hours.
- When the soup is done cooking, use an immersion blender to blend the ingredients until smooth (if you don’t have an immersion blender you can transfer the soup to a normal blender in batches and blend until smooth). Add the lime juice and stir together until combined.
- In a separate dish, stir together the lime zest, basil and peanuts to use as a topping. Each 1 ¾ cup serving of soup should be served with about 2 tablespoons of topping.
