Slow Cooker Pumpkin Soup

Method

Step by step

1. 01

   Place pumpkin and butter in the slow cooker and turn to high.

2. 02

   When butter is melted, stir to coat pumpkin and cook for 1 hour on high. (If you wait for butter to melt you can go to step 3 if you are in a hurry, and omit the cooking on high for the hour, flavor may not be as bold.)

3. 03

   Add chopped onion, sugar, salt and stock.

4. 04

   Cover. Cook on Low for 8-9 hours or on High for 4-5 hours.

5. 05

   Remove the onion, prior to serving.

6. 06

   Puree soup in a blender or use a hand held device.

7. 07

   Add milk. (DO NOT add milk if you will be freezing – just freeze without the milk. Then you will add milk when thawed).
