Chicken & Broth
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Seasonings & Oil

- 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
Instructions

- Sauté carrots: Add the peeled and chopped carrots to the pot, cover, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add remaining vegetables: Stir in the chopped zucchini, yellow squash, and broccolini (or broccoli). Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until all vegetables are softened but still al dente.

Notes
- You can substitute broccolini with regular broccoli if preferred.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt levels.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor if desired.
- Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes during cooking.
