      Title: Slow-Cooker Lemony Chicken Soup
 Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Chilies, Herbs
      Yield: 5 servings
 
      6 c  Chicken stock or broth
  1 1/4 lb Boned, skinned chicken
           - thighs
      2    Leeks; white & lt green
           - parts only; halved
           - lengthwise, thin sliced
           - across
      2    Carrots; sliced 1/2" thick
      2    Celery ribs; sliced 1/2"
           - thick
      4 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 ts Red-pepper flakes
    1/2 ts Onion powder
           Black pepper & salt
      1    Lemon; juiced (2 - 3 tb)
      1 c  (12 oz) sliced asparagus;
           - trimmed, sliced 1/2" thick
      1 c  Fresh or frozen peas
      9 oz Refrigerated spinach-cheese
           - tortellini
    1/2 c  Chopped soft fresh herbs
 
  In a 6 to 8 quart slow cooker, combine the stock,
  chicken, leeks, carrots, celery, garlic, red-pepper
  flakes, onion powder and several generous grinds of
  black pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt if using
  salted stock, 1 teaspoon kosher salt if using low-sodium
  stock or 2 teaspoons kosher salt if using unsalted
  stock. Cover and cook on low until the chicken and
  vegetables are very tender, about 7 hours.
  
  Increase the heat to high. Using two forks, tear apart
  the chicken into bite-size pieces. Add the lemon juice,
  asparagus, peas and tortellini, to the soup. Cover and
  cook until the vegetables are tender to crisp-tender,
  and the tortellini is cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
  Stir in the herbs; season to taste with salt and pepper.
  Divide among bowls to serve.
  
  NOTE: Add only as many tortellini as will be eaten
  immediately. The tortellini will get too soft if stored
  in the soup.
