Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

Chicken Tortilla Soup may be one of my husband's FAVORITE meals.  Any time I ask him what he is craving, you can bet he is going to say this (and he's not a soup person, so that says a lot).  I have a traditional stove top version of this recipe I will link [HERE], but the other day I wanted to try and make this more of a dump and go crockpot version and WOW was it delicious!  

A bowl of the finished Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe topped with tortilla strips, sour cream, and cheese with the title above.

This Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe has all of the same great flavors of my original recipe (it's possibly even better) with all the ease of a slow cooker.  I can't wait to share it with you so...

  3. If I have a strong dislike for any beans, would you suggest another ingredient as a replacement? Or simply omit the beans for the recipe? Or do you think it would just not be the same, and skip the recipe altogether?

  4. One photo shows adding the cream cheese before the 6 hour cook, then another shows after it’s cooked. Kind of confusing. 🤷‍♀️
