Green Chile Butternut Squash Soup

This Mexican-inspired butternut squash soup is made in a slow cooker. I like to cook it overnight, blend it in the morning and store it in the refrigerator. All I have to do when I get home is heat it up.

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups cubed peeled butternut squash
  • 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (10 ounces) green enchilada sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • optional: crispy tortilla strips, sliced jalapeno pepper and fresh cilantro leaves

Directions:

  1. Combine first 11 ingredients in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low until vegetables are soft, 6-7 hours.
  2. Puree soup using an immersion blender. Or cool slightly and puree soup in batches in a blender; return to slow cooker. Stir in heavy cream; heat through. If desired, top with crispy tortilla strips, jalapeno and cilantro leaves, and sprinkle with additional chili powder.
