Slow Cooked Chicken Tortilla Soup

My Slow Cooked Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe has been a family favorite for years now! I used to make a version of this recipe when I worked full time, out of the home, and it was SO nice to come home to my house smelling like I had been cooking all day! NOW, as a stay at home mom to my boys, I love my slow cooker even more – especially simple recipes like this one! I throw everything in and set the temperature and then off we go for the day!!

Chicken Tortilla Soup - 21 Day Fix

 

This recipe is PERFECT for a cold day and also makes great leftovers to send with my husband for lunch at work. This was the first time I ever made my own chips though, I was surprised at how easy it was and how FRESH they taste! I loved it!
