No spiffy pictures this time

But I did want to post the butternut squash soup recipe, as promised. This came from Dave's coworker's "Slow cooker Italian recipes" cookbook and it was delicious! SUPER easy to make, and it's all natural. Don't know what the WW points for it are, but with no butter or cream, I can't imagine it's too bad.

(Before you begin: everything gets pureed at the end, so don't worry about your chopping skills!)

1. Chop and saute 1 medium sized onion. After about 6 minutes, add two chopped up garlic cloves and continue sauteing for a few more minutes, until everything is soft.

2. Put the following into your crock pot:

the onion/garlic mixture
approx. 1.5 pounds of peeled, cubed (2 inches or so) butternut squash
two medium potatoes, peeled and cubed (1 inch or so)
three fresh sage leaves
4 cups of chicken broth

3. Let it cook for four hours on low.

4. After 4 hours, put everything from the crock pot into a blender and puree.

5. You're done! Salt and pepper to taste, and some chives or asiago cheese on top would probably also be delish.
