Ingredients 

• 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into cubes (approx. 7–8 cups)
• 1 white onion, diced (approx. 2 cups)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• ½ tsp Turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

• Add all the ingredients (except for the coconut milk, if using) to a slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours until the squash is soft and tender.

• Mix in the can of coconut milk. 
• Season with salt and pepper if needed and serve. Garnish with green onions or cilantro.
