Paleo Cream of Mushroom Soup

by

This is my super simple version of Cream of Mushroom soup. It’s naturally dairy-free, and also safe for those on the SCdiet, or paleo diet. This soup can be eaten alone, or added to any recipe that calls for cream of mushroom soup.

PALEO, SCD, & GAPS safe soup.

My Kid’s Choice Beef Stew is simple in texture and rich in flavor. I cut the carrots and potatoes into very small pieces. This way, it’s easier to eat and much more appealing to little ones.

Smoky Butternut Squash Soup

by

I love this creamy, smoky butternut squash soup. The cumin adds just enough flavor, while keeping it’s delicate sweetness. It’s great on it’s own, or paired with a gluten-free sandwich.
