     Title: Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortellini Tomato Soup
Categories: Poultry, Pasta, Vegetables, Herbs, Cheese
     Yield: 8 servings

 2 1/2 c  Chicken stock
   1/4 c  Dry white wine
     2 tb Tomato paste
    28 oz Can crushed fire-roasted
          - tomatoes
     1 tb Aged balsamic vinegar
     6 cl Garlic; fine chopped
     2 tb Chopped fresh oregano
          +=OR=+
 1 1/2 ts Dried oregano
     2 ts Onion powder
   1/2 ts Red-pepper flakes
   1/2 ts Kosher salt; more as needed
     2 lb Boned, skinned chicken
          - thighs
     5 oz Baby spinach
    10 oz Bag refrigerated cheese
          - tortellini
     1 c  Grated Parmesan; to serve
          Torn or sliced fresh basil;
          - to serve
          Black pepper; to serve

 In a 6 to 8 quart slow cooker, whisk together the stock,
 wine and tomato paste until the paste dissolves. Stir in
 the tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, oregano, onion powder,
 red-pepper flakes and salt. (If you are using unsalted
 stock, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt.) Add the
 chicken and stir to combine. Cook on low until the
 chicken is very tender and the flavors are blended, 5 to
 6 hours.

 Increase the heat to high for 10 minutes. Coarsely shred
 the chicken with two forks, pressing pieces of chicken
 against the side of the slow cooker to break the thighs
 apart. Stir in the spinach so that it wilts into the
 soup.

 Stir in the tortellini, cover the slow cooker, and cook
 until the tortellini are al dente and warmed through,
 about 3 minutes. Taste the soup and add salt if it
 tastes flat. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with
 Parmesan, basil and black pepper.
