Butternut squash, spices and just a hint of cream cheese combine in this easy, creamy and smooth recipe for Crock-Pot Butternut Squash Soup! A delicious comforting soup that is perfect for those cold autumn days!
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup
I always start salivating when I walk by chopped butternut squash. I LOVE butternut squash soup, but have only ate it in restaurants or at gatherings, I’ve never made the jump to make my own.
Well I noticed a while back that my local grocery store sold 12 ounce bags of fresh, cut up cubes of butternut squash. I could make a soup without having to attack a poor squash trying to get it all peeled and cubed. Score!

Just tried this recipe… Delicious!!
Glad you liked it!
Made this (with a couple tweaks) and it is one of the best things to come out of my kitchen! Thanks for sharing!
Can you use any kind of squash? I live in Mexico & I’m not sure what kind some of them are!
You should be able to use just about any kind of hard skinned winter squash in this recipe. Squashes like acorn squash, pumpkin, etc should work just fine Denise.
a friend loved this, soup but she dosent have a crock pot can ti be done on the stove
Hi Ginny,
This recipe hasn’t been tested on the stove, but I’m sure she could! I would follow the recipe and simmer on medium/low (stirring every so often) till the squash was cooked through and tender, then she could use a blender or an immersion blender to blend it up. Hope she enjoys!
