What if I don't have a slow cooker?

You could cook the ingredients on the stovetop in a large pot over low heat, covered, until the squash is very tender, stirring occasionally. This might take 1-2 hours.

How can I make this soup spicier?

To add a kick, you could include a pinch of cayenne pepper or a small amount of fresh chili when adding the other spices in step 1.

Can I prepare this soup ahead of time?

Yes, this soup is great for making ahead. Once blended, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated gently.

What are apple noodles and how do I make them for garnish?

Apple noodles are thin strands of apple, often made with a spiralizer. They add a fresh, crunchy garnish to the soup, complementing the apple flavor within.
