Crock pot recipe #2

My friend, Jess, is a wonderful cook. She is also a mother of two toddlers, which means that she is always finding ways to put her crock pot to use....just makes life easier. Here is her recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup for the crock pot. It is so delicious, incredibly easy, and stores beautifully in the freezer (if you happen to have leftovers.)

Enjoy!
