Golden Chicken soup

Deanna Niewulis gave me this recipe. It was originally called "Detoxifying Chicken Soup" or something like that, but we renamed it, as marketing is everything when it comes to kids and food! We made it for Advent when we discussed the wisemen and the symbol of gold.

 sautee in coconut oil:
2 leeks, thinly sliced
3 carrots, sliced
4 celery stalks, sliced
4 oz mushrooms

combine in crockpot with:
8 c. chicken broth
3 c. cooked chicken
1 1/2 c. butternut squash, cubed (use frozen. It's easier)
2 c. spinach
1 t. turmeric
1 t. salt
1/2 t. ginger (ground)
2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. pepper

Add all ingredients and cook on HIGH for 4 hours.
