Autumn Soup

I usually use leftover chicken for this Autumn soup, and it has been one of the highest rated recipes on my site, but it would be a great one to use with your leftover turkey!

2 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, peeled and cubed
1 cup butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 small sweet potato, peeled and cubed*
½ yellow onion, quartered
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cups chicken stock, store-bought or homemade
2-3 cups leftover shredded chicken or 1 pound uncooked chicken breasts
¾ teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon cracked pepper
1 cup water
2 cups baby spinach
*For SCD, eliminate the sweet potato and increase the butternut squash to 2.5 cups
