Skinny Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

By SkinnyMom

This is one of my favorite soup recipes! Just prep it the night before and you can have it completely ready the next night without any extra work! It’s great for busy nights–especially during school and extracurricular nights. No time to bake tortilla strips, no problem! Just grab your fave tortilla chips, give them a quick crush and toss them in!
