6 cups chicken stock
1 cup milk
salt and pepper

In frying pan, melt butter or add oil; saute carrot until tender, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, potatoes, squash and chicken stock to your slow cooker and cover. Cook over low at least 3 hours, but may be all day if needed. Puree about 1.5 cups per time in the blender or run through a ricer. Add back into a large saucepan. Add the milk and salt and pepper to taste. Heat on medium heat until hot and ready to serve.

For flavor variations: add 1 apple to the squash and potatoes, then a dash or two of cinnamon to the seasonings.
Add a dash of curry or garlic to the seasoning
