THE EASIEST AND BEST CROCK POT CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
A friend of mine made this soup for a baby shower that I recently attended and everyone loved it! Fritos or tortilla strips and cheddar cheese are optional topping's as well as the sour cream. I like it the best with only sour cream which makes it HEALTHY which is always a major plus! You do not need to pre cook the chicken, just put it in raw OR frozen, which makes it super easy. For spicer soup, get the spicy RoTel tomatoes and/or Medium or Hot Tostitos Salsa but you will find that it has a lot of flavor and is quite spicy for not having to add any extra spices -- SO easy!! I like it the best with one jar of medium and one jar of mild tostitos salsa.
