  5. 4 cups - shredded cooked chicken
  6. 4 - bay leaves
  7. 2 teaspoons - salt
  8. 1 teaspoons - pepper
  9. 2 - whole heads of garlic
  10. 8 ounces - mushrooms quartered
  11. 1 cups - orecchiette (or another small pasta)

  15. 6 cups - fresh baby spinach

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450° F.

Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, reduce heat to low and sweat the onions about 15 minutes. Add the celery and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add broth, chicken, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low, simmering 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Place both heads of garlic in aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Seal and roast 35-40 minutes or until soft.

Meanwhile, toss mushrooms with remaining oil in a baking dish and roast 15-20 minutes, turning once. Remove mushrooms and add to soup, along with the garlic pulp.

Add pasta and cook stirring occasionally for 10-12 minutes or just until al dente. Add beans and heat through; add rosemary and parsley. Serve with parmesan cheese.
