Don't be fooled by all the ingredients - this is a super easy recipe and it's SO yummers! Just throw everything into the crock pot and let the aroma fill your home and entice your appetite. I like to top this soup with fresh squeezed lime juice, avocado, tortilla strips, and grated Jalapeno Jack cheese. I also grill up some cheddar quesadillas for the kids.

This looks amazing....I was looking for a crock pot recipe to add some leftover cilantro rice to, and THIS IS IT! Thank you, thank you! Love your blogs. ;-)
This is probably a dumb question but do you precook the chicken?
Yum! I can't wait to try this, the soup is sitting in my crock pot and smells SO good!
But, I was wondering if you have ever tried to freeze this soup? This made a lot of soup, so I was thinking of freezing half of it.
Yes :). I like mine grilled first for a lil smoky flavor but u can bake or boil too.
Very good! Added an extra clove of garlic, but other than that followed the recipe as written. This was as good or better than any other tortilla soup I've made in the past. Do it!! :)
Red or white onion?
