pork chop soup

Always trust the reviews.  This soup was super flavorful and the pork was so tender and delicious.  Two of my kids thought the soup was spicy; I think it was the pepper so just cut that in half if you think you'll need to.  I love spicy so I thought it was great as is.
Note:  I doubled the recipe that is below and I was grateful I did!

pork chop soup in the slow cooker (adapted from allrecipes.com)
2 boneless pork chops (I used pork sirloin chops)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 bay leaf
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup flour
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup carrots, diced
1 onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
handful of green beans, cut

Place pork chops, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili powder, bay leaf, chicken broth, water and soy sauce in a slow cooker and turn to HIGH.  Add the carrots, onion and celery.  Let cook for several hours.  Take out 5 cups of the soup broth and put into a saucepan.  Heat to boiling.  
Combine the flour with about 1/2 cup of cooled soup broth and whisk into the boiling soup broth that is in the saucepan.  When it is nice and thick add to the slow cooker and stir to combine.  Add the broccoli and green beans and allow to cook for another 20 minutes or so until they are cooked through.  Remove the bay leaf.
Serve with crusty bread.
