Remove chicken from the pot, shred with a fork, and set aside.

Stir the sweet potato into the pot. Continue cooking about 5 minutes, until sweet potato is slightly tender. Mix in the zucchini, yellow squash, and escarole. Continue cooking 15 minutes.

Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Cook until heated through. Increase the amount of broth if the soup seems too thick.
