Caramelized Squash Soup

If you're going to follow in my footsteps and eat 12 servings of anything, this is the soup to do it with. Some might say 1 serving is enough, but once you try this, I can't guarantee that you won't want to eat 11 more. This soup starts off with some caramelized butternut squash and onions. Combined with celery, carrot and broth, it makes a creamy, savory soup. Cooking options include the stove (if you want) or a slow cooker (my preference) for this easy soup.

Melt your butter in a stock pot on med heat. Add in your squash and onions. Stir to prevent sticking and saute 5-10 mins until the sides have browned a bit.
Turn heat down to low-med and add in the remaining veggies and garlic. Saute for an additional 10 mins stirring frequently until they start to become slightly soft. Add in broth and seasonings.
Bring to a boil. Then allow to simmer for 45-60 minutes until veggies are fully tender. Using an immersion or full-size blender, cream together until the soup is smooth.
Laddle into bowls for serving. Add 1/2-1 tbs of coconut cream to the top and gently stir in before enjoying.

Notes

If no Primal Palate Adobo Seasoning, use 1 tsp oregano, ½ onion powder & ½ tsp turmeric If using a slow cooker, complete step 1. Then transfer to a slow cooker, adding in all remaining ingredients. Cook 3-4 hours on low until veggies are tender. Use immersion or full-size blender to cream together until smooth. Laddle into bowls for serving. Add 1/2-1 tbs of coconut cream to the top and gently stir in before enjoying.
