Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

I'm making this one for our family tomorrow and will update this picture ~ the soup is delicious, although that picture from my iPhone last summer is a little rough! 🙂

This has got to be my favorite slow cooker soup recipe ever.  While I love some taco soup and some potato soup also (really, they're so good too!), this is the one that I always come back to on a busy night when I just need something simple to dump in Mrs. Potts.

If you don't have a slow cooker (you really need to get one . . .), but you could also easily cook this one on the stovetop for a few hours instead.  I promise, you'll love it, and enjoy every yummy bite!
