Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a big pot over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, add the garlic, onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the potatoes turn golden and start to soften, which should take about 10 minutes.

Next, throw in the yellow squash, spinach, corn, pinto beans, and spaghetti squash. Keep stirring until the spinach wilts, just a minute or two.
