Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is a flavorful and healthy soup recipe make in your slow cooker. Turn it on in the morning before you head to work and come home to the wafting smell of spicy chicken tortilla soup ready to enjoy for dinner!
Our family recently got hit with a bug these last few days. We spent last weekend moving my parents and apparently someone brought a nasty bug to the party. I got hit hard Monday night and my husband is currently curled up on the sofa feeling the effects now. I missed a couple days of work and am grateful to finally be feeling somewhat normal again. Getting sick is always so miserable!
After recovering from the bug, soup is about the only way I like to enjoy my meals in the following days. Soup is so comforting and especially good during the cold winter months. If you aren’t a big fan of spice, you can cut back on the cayenne pepper in this recipe to tame it down. It will still be full of delicious bold flavors that you will love.
