Pumpkin Soup in the Slow Cooker

I had actually never had slow cooker pumpkin soup before making this, and now it’s on my list of things to make again and again! For those of you that prefer a vegan option, simply swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth and skip the half & half garnish. This soup is also gluten free.
