Method

  1. Add all ingredients, minus the cinnamon and 5 oz. of coconut milk, to a slow cooker and mix together. Cook for 6-8 hours on low, or 3-4 hours on high. By the end of cooking, the butternut squash should be fork-tender. Remove the chai tea bags and use an immersion blender or tabletop blender to puree the soup.*
  2. Once pureed, taste, and season more as needed (some prefer it spicier.) Place into bowls, and use the reserved coconut to garnish, swirling with a fork. Sprinkle cinnamon on top, and serve.
  3. Notes: If using a tabletop blender, puree the soup in a small batches to avoid any spills.
