In a medium Dutch oven, heat olive oil until it shimmers.  Salt and pepper chicken and add chicken leg quarters, skin side down, and brown, turn and brown on other side.  When chicken is browned, but not cooked through, remove and saute onion in drippings.  
Once once is softened add passata, stock, and chipotles; add salt and pepper.  Bring to a simmer and add chicken leg quarters back to pot allowing to cook through as soup simmers.  Once chicken is cooked, remove and allow to cook, then shred and put meat into soup (save bones and skin for stock if you'd like).

Bring a large pot of water to a boil; once it is at a rolling boil, add a handful of salt.  Cook pasta about 1 minute short of package directions; this should leave your pasta al dente, but check about 2 minutes before the package directions say it will be done just to check.
In a large pan, melt 1 Tbsp. of butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Once melted, add the shallots and garlic and cook for a few minutes or so, just until softened. Add the mushrooms, toss them around to get them coated in the butter and olive oil.   Let them cook and release their water so they can brown, 8-10 minutes.
Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar; stir everything together making sure to scrape up all of the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.  When most of the sherry is cooked into the mushrooms, pour in the cream and continue to cook for about 10 minutes (this is a good time to drop your pasta into the boiling salted water).
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Add the fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper.  Serve with additional parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top.

Serves 3-4
Cook Time: 3-8 hours


Combine all ingredients in a large slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours (low and slow recommended.)  The longer you cook this the more the split peas will break down, so keep an eye on them till they are the consistency you want (I like 8 hours where 2/3 are broken down and 1/3 still holds its shape).
