Cup of Yum
To make in slow cooker;
- Add all the ingredients except for the coconut milk to the slow cooker.
- Place the lid on and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours
- When done, add in the coconut milk and purée with an immersion blender until smooth.
To make on stovetop;
- Combine the ingredients (except coconut milk) in a large soup pot.
- Bring the soup to almost a boil, then reduce the heat.
- Cover the pot and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- Turn the heat off, stir in the coconut milk, and purée with an immersion blender.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, reduce the liquid by about half a cup.
- if you prefer a thinner soup, add an extra cup of stock.
- Feel free to add a little extra coconut milk (this will increase the calories).
- You can replace the cubed butternut squash with chopped pumpkin or other winter squash, according to your taste.
- Other spices you can use include cardamom, curry powder, cumin, and coriander.
- The cooking time listed does not include time for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure, or for the pressure to release.
- Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
