Crock pot butternut squash soup

This afternoon I threw together a slow cook butternut squash soup recipe that I found on Pinterest. It was incredibly easy to put together. My 4-year-old helped me put it all together so I did not follow the recipe exactly as written, but it still came out great.

Recipe changes:

• I didn't like the idea of adding half and half to the soup so I used almond milk instead.
• I also used coconut oil instead of butter.
• The directions want you to add only half of the chicken broth in the beginning and hold off on the half and half until the end. I did not see this direction because I was trying to help my son and we put everything in at once. 
• I also add a drizzle of real maple syrup to each bowl.

It's a nice clean soup that I plan on having with my lunch most of this week. 

Enjoy!
