Crockpot Chicken

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     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.
