Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
This one pot meal is quick, easy and versatile. If you’ve got some meat lovers over for dinner, then go ahead and throw in some extra chicken. Otherwise, try it sans chicken for a meatless meal that’s filled with hearty beans and veg and won’t make you sorry you left out a little poultry. The flavors are Texas-sized, and the fixin’s add just the right complements to the filling soup.
