Slow Cooker Pear Delicata Squash Soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 delicata squash, peeled and cubed (you can use butternut squash if you can’t find a delicata)
  • 2 pears, peeled and cored then cubed
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable stock (or filtered water with Vegetarian Better Than Bouillon no-chicken, or another vegetarian chicken-like bouillon cube)
  • 1 tablespoon Port (or red wine)
  • Sprig of fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper

Directions:

Throw everything into the slow cooker and cook on low six to ten hours. Remove the thyme spring and use a hand blender to puree everything together. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Top with sage pesto, or finely chopped pistachios.

I've been trying to find interesting meal ideas for myself. Something that I can make in my crockpot and have leftovers to freeze for other mealtimes. Pears and buttercup squash seems like a very and likable combination.
It feels good to write.
