Slow Cooker Butternut White Bean Soup

 
Slow Cooker Butternut White Bean Soup at Miz Helen's Country Cottage
We are soup and stew lovers here at the cottage and really enjoy a hot bowl of soup for lunch or dinner. This is a great slow cooker recipe with lots of veggies that I just love. The butternut squash and white beans are a great combination and I have added some greens along with special herbs to create this amazing bowl of soup. This is a rich and comforting vegetarian soup that simmers away in the slow cooker and is ready for you to enjoy at the end of the day.
