½ teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon thyme
¼ cup reduced fat coconut milk (or milk of choice)
For the optional garnish:
Chives, chopped

1. Place squash pieces, onion, and garlic into a slow cooker.
2. Drizzle with olive oil and add vegetable broth.
3. Sprinkle over ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne, sea salt, and pepper.
4. Place lid on slow cooker and cook on high heat for 4 hours.
