Ingredients

    1 SB chicken breast cooked and shredded or diced
    4 cups of homemade chicken stock
    2 cups of *water
    1/2 of a medium onion diced
    1 cup celery sliced

    1 bay leaf (optional)
    salt and pepper to taste

Tips

*Parboil the chicken in the 2 cups of water for additional flavor.
**The fettuccine style Shirataki noodles are quite long, a rough chop before adding to pot may help.


Directions

Prep vegetables and soften onion, carrots, mushrooms and celery in soup pot with 1 1/2 tsp olive oil (seasoning the vegetables now will add depth to the flavor of the soup and promote the softening without a lot of oil). Add stock and water to pan. Take lemon and squeeze in pot. Throw the lemon rind, bay leaf and garlic in and simmer for 15 minutes. (While the soup is simmering prep the Shirataki noodles according to the package directions.) Add chicken and spinach and simmer 2 minutes then add the noodles and simmer 2 minutes more. Salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat. Remove bay leaf and lemon rind. Add fresh parsley and enjoy.
