I used to cook this on the stove, then thought why not use the crock pot and it came out great. Will only use crockpot now.

How To Make creamy crockpot butternut squash soup

Step 1

Put all (except cream and flour) ingredients into crockpot, stir and cook for 6 hours on high. When done, take an immersion blender and blend it till smooth.

Step 2

Add cream and thickener (flour or arrowroot) if needed and then use immersion blender again. You can use blender in small batches too.
Step 3

I never use the plastic bag in the crockpot for this recipe, as I want to use the immersion blender. Plus you really don't need it for this soup. You can add more salt if needed.
