2 tsp. - olive oil

1/2 cup - chopped onion

2 cups - sliced celery (about 4 medium stalks)

4 cups - low-sodium organic chicken broth

3 cups - chopped rotisserie chicken breast, boneless, skinless (I used organic grilled chicken breasts)

1 1/2 cups - sliced carrots (about 3 medium)

1 tsp. - dried oregano leaves

1/2 tsp. - sea salt (or Himalayan salt)

1/2 tsp. - ground black pepper

1 1/4 cups - dry whole wheat pasta (like penne, rotini, shells or farfalle)

1/4 cup - chopped fresh cilantro

1.  Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat.

2.  Add onion and celery; cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent.

3.  Add broth, chicken, carrots, oregano, salt, and pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Add pasta, reduce heat to low; gently boil for 10 minutes.

Tips:

Substitute rice pasta or quinoa pasta for whole wheat pasta for a gluten-free choice.
