Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

I am so excited to share this healthy, EASY, and delicious crockpot tortilla soup recipe! I made this a couple days ago when I was running out the door for work and realized that I had nothing planned for dinner. I looked through our fridge and thought up this quick recipe. I am not lying it took me 10 minutes!! Most of the ingredients are canned  and super cheap, so this meal is also great on a budget. I love to use the crockpot because it is insanely easy and it makes the chicken juicy.  The soup taste amazing without sour cream and cheese, but feel free to add it. Basically you just throw all of the ingredients in the crockpot and you come home to an amazing meal! It feels like someone else made dinner for you!
​

I like to top mine with fresh lime juice, cilantro, avocado and crushed tortilla chips!
