Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup
I love anything warm and in a soup form. This is one of my favorites because it’s nothing but veggies, but sweet enough to taste like it’s too good to be true. This is naturally vegan and gluten-free. I did this in the crock-pot so I could go about the day and it came out great!
