Based on the Exchange Variation: https://www.chessable.com/smash-the-caro-kann/course/32316/
Based on the Panov-Botvinnik: https://www.chessable.com/the-furious-panov-botvinnik/course/45945/
The are a few others that base the approach on the Advance and Short variations, but I would start with one of these two to begin with.
I have smash the Caro kann, I like it, but it doesn't mention 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.Bd3 Nc6 5.c3 Nf6 6.Bf4 Bg4 7.Qb3 Qb6 which is very popular I have just being exchanging queen's and it seems to work out.

The Qb6 line is not critical. You leave the Queen's staring at each other as neither side wants to initiate the queen trade, and continue with Nbd2 and Ngf3 like normal. If Black takes the queen, you take back with the a-pawn and push it to b4 where his queenside play is now non-existent.
If you really want that line covered explicitly, the author for that course is usually very responsive; just send him a message asking for it.

Thanks, I remember playing the line in a daily game and being torn whether to take or not and it really stuck in my mind, because it was cheap price I didn't really want to ask questions, I just checked the position notes and someone else asked about Qb6 recently and the author agrees with you not to take.
