Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

I love having good soup recipes on hand for the cooler months. There's just something cozy about a cool night and a yummy bowl of soup! This is one to add to your arsenal of soup recipes; it's simple and delicious!

Ingredients:

2tbsp organic olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2lbs butternut squash, cubed-I’ve found this already cubed some places but usually cheaper to buy it whole🤷‍♀️
3 cups organic veggie broth or homemade bone broth
1 cup organic (if ya can) coconut cream
1tbsp brown sugar (I’d half this or omit but up to you!)
2 drops clove vitality
1 drop cinnamon bark vitality
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In your pan, saute onions, garlic, salt and pepper in olive oil over medium heat until fragrant and tender.
Add cubed squash and cook for 3-5 minutes.
Add vegetable broth, cream and brown sugar and bring to a boil.
Boil on medium-high heart for 25 minutes or until the squash is fork tender.
Remove from heat.
Using a hand mixer, puree until smooth. Stir in the essential oils. Allow oils to infuse into soup for 5-8 minutes and then serve.

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
