Creamy and comforting vegan Butternut Squash Soup with Chickpeas and Coconut Milk that is slow cooked, is just what you need this fall!

Slow Cooked Butternut Squash and Chickpea Soup with Coconut Milk - Mirch Masala

It is that time of the year again. Not only do the boots and the coats come out but also the slow cooker. Soups and stew become the norm for most days. Though this year, I want to try some other recipes in my slow cooker. Lets see how that goes.

The easy part of the slow cooker is that it cooks by itself once you put all the things in. You don’t have to be by the stove. This might seem perfect for someone with a toddler at home who does not let me stay in the kitchen long enough to make a meal. The not so easy part is that, you have to plan ahead. I cannot decide at 5 in the evening what I want to make for dinner. It has to more like 11 in the morning, at least. Earlier would be better. I have just got to get used to that. I think once I get that going, life is going to be a little easier with my slow helper for all of this winter.

Slow Cooked Butternut Squash and Chickpea Soup with Coconut Milk - Mirch Masala (2)

This slow cooked butternut squash and chickpea soup with coconut milk is a perfect fall recipe that can easily be your main dish for dinner. The chickpeas take care of the protein and makes it very filling too. I added some cumin and cayenne for spice and finished with some coconut milk. So, it has a very lightly spiced Indian curry touch to it. It might even taste good with your rotis or rice. I did not try that, but I think it will be good!
