Delicata Creamy Squash Soup
For a more healthful soup, I sauteed the squash with more onion for more carmelization, before adding the veggie broth. I simmered the broth and squash together for about 45 minutes, removed the bay leaves. pureed the soup, and added about 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. I added a soupcon of heavy cream to eachbowl when I served it. More taste of squash in this version, too.

Chicken Broth in a Slow Cooker
Try roasting the chicken and veggies first and tossing everything from the roasting pan into the crock pot. Also, don't be afraid of bay leaves. Toss in 4 or 5. A turnip also helps the flavor. If you roast a chicken, save the uneaten parts for soup, or if you butcher a whole chicken instead of buying parts, freeze the backs and wings until you have enough for a batch of broth.

Use some ras al hanout as seasoning and chicken broth, and this rises above good to great.
