I box organic chicken stock

2 carrots

2 parsnips

1 tsp oregano

2 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into pieces

"spaghetti" from half spaghetti squash

Handful fresh spinach or any dark leafy green

WHAT TO DO:

In a large stockpot add chicken stock, tomatoes, carrots, parsnips and turnips on med/high heat.

Meanwhile, sauté shallot, garlic and herbs in olive oil on low heat. After a minute add zucchini and squash and sauté together for a minute then add to stockpot.

Reduce heat to med/low and let ingredients simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add chicken, spinach, and spaghetti, and allow to simmer another 15-20 minutes.
