We love butternut squash soup and eat it all the time during the fall and winter months. Comforting, nutritious, flavorful and versatile, you really can’t go wrong with butternut squash soup.

To make it even easier to get this luscious soup on the table, I turned it into an easy make-ahead slow cooker soup recipe. Carrots add a hint of sweetness to offset the subtle smokiness and heat from the chipotle peppers in adobo.

For added creaminess and acidity to balance the entire dish, I like to drizzle each bowl with a little plain yogurt right before serving. As an added bonus, topping the soup with cold yogurt is a great way to cool down the dish for hungry toddlers eager to take a bite.

Your spoon is waiting.

    I pinned this recipe, Liz! It looks so good!! I’ll probably leave out the chipotle peppers though, my husband and I don’t care for hot and spicy stuff! I think the cayenne pepper will be enough!😳😀. I’m going to make it this weekend! Happy New Year to you and your family, Liz!!!

    Amazing. I love butternut squash soup, and now I have a newfound love of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce! I had never cooked with them before, and I’m eager to try other recipes that you have with them in it!

    This soup was beautiful and fragrant, but not edible. The chipotle peppers made the dish so hot that no one, and i really mean NO ONE, was able to eat it! It may be that the peppers needed to be de-seeded, which the recipe does not indicate? I will probably make this soup again and omit the peppers.

      Hi Jeryl,

      I’m so sorry this soup was too hot for your taste buds. Yes, that’s correct, if you want to keep the dish mild you just scrape out the seeds. I revised the recipe to note that. Again, many apologies.

    Hi, could you use frozen butternut squash for this? Might not be as good, but still good??

    Do you know how long I should cook this on a stovetop?
