Chicken and Vegetable Soup Preparation

Add the onions, celery, carrots, green onions, garlic, parsley, basil and bay leaves. Again, season with with a dash or two of Creole Seasoning. Saute for 4 minutes. Add the chopped veggies, spinach and red pepper flakes. Saute for an additional 2 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil.

Re-season if necessary. Serve hot.
Notes
There are lots of options for this recipe. Some of the options I use are:
1. Leave out the pasta.
2. Leave out the pasta and add barley, instead
3. Leave out the chicken and use 3 slices of bacon to start things.
4. Could also add / substitute a ham hock, if desired.
