How to cook it

Cooking cue

Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.

  1. 1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, then sauté diced carrots, celery, and onions for about 5 minutes until the onions turn translucent.
  2. 2. Add chicken breasts, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and bay leaf, then bring to a boil before reducing heat to simmer covered for 1 hour (if using raw chicken, remove after 30 minutes to shred, then return to the pot).
  3. 3. While the soup simmers, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F, poke holes in the spaghetti squash with a knife, and bake on a sheet for 40-60 minutes until a fork pierces the skin with slight resistance.
  4. 4. Once the squash is cool enough to handle, halve it and use a fork to scrape out the strands crosswise.
  5. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  6. 5. Remove the bay leaf from the soup, stir in about 3 cups of the spaghetti squash noodles (half the squash), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
