Creamy and comforting. The best soup for a rainy day!
Nothing gets you through those cold winter nights like a warm, slow cooker soup. Unfortunately, the thick and creamy soups you crave most this time of year often pack lots of fat and calories. Luckily, this thick and hearty Slow Cooker Carrot Squash Soup gets its consistency from veggies, not heavy cream. Despite its too good to be true creaminess, this soup satisfies your comfort food cravings without the comfort food calories. Seasoned with warm and flavorful spices like ginger, cinnamon and turmeric, this soup is both filling and flavorful. Meanwhile, coconut milk and maple syrup top this slow cooker classic off with a unique and comforting flavor twist.
