Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker or soup pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup raw flax seeds
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 star anise
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 cup of honey
  • 64 oz water

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Veggies: In a large slow cooker, combine the cubed butternut squash and sweet potatoes with the water. Add the minced garlic, onion powder, cinnamon, and star anise. Bring it all to a boil, then let us slow cooker for about 4 to 5 hours.
  • Flavor Soak: Once the veggies are soft and the star anise has done its job adding a subtle, warm spice, discard the star anise.
  • Blend to Perfection: Carefully scoop the squash and sweet potatoes into a blender or food processor. Add the honey, salt, and white pepper. With a hand blender, give the soup a few quick blends to mash most of it into the flavorful juice. There will still be a few chunks, this is fine.
  • Serve It Up: Pour your creamy soup into bowls and top each one with a generous handful of pumpkin and flax seeds. These seeds aren’t just for texture, they’re packed with nutrients like protein, fiber, and healthy fats that’ll keep you feeling full and fueled all day.
  • Enjoy the Comfort: Serve this warm, earthy, and downright comforting soup on those cool Southern nights — or whenever you’re craving a dish that’s both satisfying and healthy.
