Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

The weather hasn't been too frightful here in Georgia, but it's getting colder and windier with each passing day; therefore, that only means one thing - soup weather!  I'm not that big of a chicken noodle fan, so whenever Jim asks me for soup, I whip out my trusty Chicken Tortilla soup recipe. Luckily it's as healthy for you as it is tasty, so no worries if you decide to go back for seconds.
