Finely chop 2 medium celery sticks and 1 medium onion.

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the chopped onions and celery for 5 to 8 minutes until golden.

Transfer the sautéed veggies to the soup pot along with the sliced carrots.

Add 6 to 8 ounces of spiral pasta to the pot and cook for 15 minutes at a low boil until the pasta reaches desired doneness.

Remove the chicken thighs and shred the chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding any fat or bones.

Transfer the shredded chicken back to the pot.

Season the soup with 1 teaspoon of Mrs. Dash or your favorite salt-free seasoning, add 1 large pressed garlic clove, and 3 tablespoons of fresh dill.

Simmer for another minute and then turn off the heat.
