Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is a simple recipe that I received from my friend Dolly King. It's one of those dishes that I make often and don't know what I would do without the recipe. I love the fact that you can throw it in the crock pot and go, too. It's really delicious and my children love it. I've made it countless times using a rotisserie chicken and skipping the crock pot altogether...just making it on the stovetop. It's still good...but it is really much better done in the crock pot. With the cold weather we've been having, it is the perfect feel-good comfort food. Simple & yummy. Enjoy!
