Butternut & White Bean Soup with Winter Greens

My take on a minestrone soup made with butternut squash instead of pasta. This soup couldn't be easier to make, just chop and dump all your ingredients in a crock pot and let the machine do all the work for you.

A simple and savory butternut squash and swiss chard soup with diced tomatoes, white beans and basil topped with those crunchy onions you still have leftover from Thanksgiving.
