    Combine chicken, butternut squash, red beans, hominy, chicken broth, salsa, beer, and Mexican oregano in a slow cooker.

    Cook on Low for 7 1/2 hours (or on High for 3 1/2 hours). Stir cream into soup and continue cooking for 30 minutes more.



    Cook's Note:

    Can omit chicken and use veggie broth for a vegetarian version.

    Pinto beans, black beans, or a mixture of beans can be used in place of red beans.

    Sweet potatoes can be substituted for the butternut squash.

    Regular oregano can be used in place of the Mexican oregano.

    I use dark beer, but any variety will do.
