Ingredients
Directions
Spray 4 to 5 quart slow cooker with cooking spray or line with a slow cooker liner. Toss the squash, apple, onion, curry, salt and white pepper in the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth over the mixture. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
Pour about 3 cups of the soup mixture into blender; add coconut milk and brown sugar. Cover and blend until smooth; return to cooker. Blend the remaining soup mixture, in batches until all the soup is smooth and combined. Or you can blend the soup with a submersible blender.
Increase heat to high. Cover and cook 10-15 minutes longer or until hot. Serve topped with chopped apple.
