Chicken Tortilla Soup

Tonight, we had a very successful crockpot chicken tortilla soup.  I've been on the prowl for a good tortilla soup recently, and living in Texas means I am picky!  We have so many great Mexican and Tex-Mex places with tortilla soup that I can compare recipes to.  I wanted a crock pot friendly recipe as well, so I gave it my own spin. 

 

 

 I wanted one without corn or beans, and right down to the home-y taste of just the chicken without the bells and whistles.  I ended up combining a few different recipes to yield this one.  Even my husband, self-proclaimed soup hater, enjoyed this and asked for more. 

 

Recipe follows:

Ingredients:

1 packet fajita seasoning

1.5 boxes chicken broth

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 chopped onion

3/4 can crushed tomatoes (15 oz can)

1.5 pounds chicken

cilantro

avocado

cheddar or Monterey Jack

tortilla chips

 

Add the first 6 ingredients to the crock pot.  Cook on high 4 hours, or until chicken shreds easily.  Shred the chicken, and top with cilantro, avocado, cheese, and tortilla chips.

 

 

 

Also, to be completely honest, I didn't really measure any ingredients.  I just added approximately what I have listed in the recipe, but I could have guesstimated incorrectly.  So, just add things until it looks and tastes good to you!
