Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup (A Reader Recipe)

Here is another reader recipe.

This time, it's a favorite from my sister's kitchen!

This is something I've heard her talk about for years and never got around to trying until recently.

If you want a crockpot dish that is SOUPER easy... this is it!

If you're not into crockpot cooking, here is a different recipe for chicken tortilla soup that's also delicious.

4-5 frozen chicken breasts

1 pkg frozen mexican veggies (corn, blk beans, peppers)

1 can chicken tortilla soup

1 can nacho cheese soup

1 can water

Sour cream

Cheese

Tortilla chips

Put all ingredients in the crock pot on low and let cook all day.

When chicken is done, shred it then put back in soup.

Add sour cream, cheese and crushed tortilla chips to each bowl and enjoy!

***Review:
This soup is a favorite of my sister's family. I didn't love it as much. I don't know if it was the fact that I couldn't find the mexican style frozen veggies or what. ( I used southwest veggies) It may be that I just don't love nacho cheese... and it's a big part of this recipe. Also, I'm pretty picky! Anyway, the hubs liked it and the kids picked at it. They loved the chips to dip in it. I will say that it looked great... that counts for something in my book! I have a thing for pretty food! ;)

**Tips:
I don't really have any tips. I love that this soup is super easy to make. Add it all in and go. If you want to add a little spice you could add a can of rotel or even some jalapenos or green chili's.

*Serving:
This soup was great served with the tortillas crushed up in it. I think it would also be good with some italian bread or even corn bread on the side. Sour cream is a must and a little avacado wouldn't hurt either!
