Chicken Tortilla Soup
8 hours low
4 hours high
Add tortilla strips

Cooking

Dump everything into the crockpot and cook based on setting. 



Five minutes before serving shred your choice of flour or corn tortilla (I used two flour) into thin strips and mix into soup.


Both the boyfriend and kid gave this a great review.  It had a mild spice to it but was very light, we all had two servings because the flavor was so wonderful.  We ended up with a total of seven good sized servings.

I made two freezer batches, so I am looking forward to the next batch.
