Chicken Zoodle Soup

Ingredients:
2 TBL Olive Oil
1 cup Diced Onions
1 cup Diced Celery
3 cloves Minced Garlic
5 (14.5 ounce) cans Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 cup Sliced Carrots
3/4 lb Cooked Chicken Breast (cut into cubes)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning (OR 1/2 tsp oregano+1/2 tsp basil)
salt and black pepper to taste
3 zucchini squash, cup into ‘noodles’ using a spiral slicer or veggie peeler. (spiral slicer can be purchased online for under $10🙌)

Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, celery, and garlic in hot oil until just tender (about 5 min).
2. Pour chicken broth into the pot; add carrots, (cooked) chicken, and spices.  Bring the broth to a boil, reduce heat  to medium-low, and simmer mixture until the vegetables are tender, about 20 min.
