- 1 cup baby spinach, packed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh squeezed
Instructions
- Boil a pot of seasoned water and cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

- Add the chicken bone broth, low sodium chicken broth, water, and chicken bouillon, if using. Stir well. Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning.
- Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the fresh squeezed lemon juice.
- To serve, place the cooked pasta in the bottom of a soup bowl. Pour hot soup over the pasta, including vegetables and spinach.
Notes
- You can use any pasta shape you prefer; shellbows hold the broth well.
- This recipe yields 4 light servings or 2 hearty servings.
- Store leftover pasta and soup separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
