¼ cup of diced white onion

1 Tablespoon of butter
1 Tablespoon of olive oil

1 teaspoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
1.5 L of good quality chicken stock
Juice of ½ lemon
Hot sauce (Optional)

Preparation
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, rub the flesh of the spaghetti squash with the oil, salt and pepper and place face down in a casserole dish and roast for 30 minutes.
2
While the squash is cooking, preheat your grill or barbecue until it is very hot. Season the carrots, and zucchini well with oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Sear the vegetables on high heat until they get really nice crispy grill marks on them, about 10 minutes.
4
Take off and let cool.
5
Heat up the oil and butter in a large pot and add in the onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are just light brown in color, and you can smell the garlic, about 3-5 minutes.
6
Add in the shredded chicken and cook for another 1-2 minutes and then add in the dried herbs and chicken stock. Simmer for 25-30 minutes.
7
Dice up and add in the zucchini and carrots, and check the soup for seasoning. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and freshly chopped parsley.
