Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup
Sometimes I struggle with dinner ideas. After looking for a new recipe, I decided to try soup and salad. I went for this Butternut Squash Soup which left my husband and I going for seconds. Before scooping out all of the butternut squash, I left some for my 14 month old son and toddler daughter. They both gobbled it up! Everyone loved it and I plan to make it again soon. Enjoy! Melissa
