Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Once a month, I have decided to make our Thursday Night Group a big pot of soup! Little do they know all the soups I have made have been pretty darn healthy. Last month I made a butternut squash soup and it was a big hit! This month I decided to give Chicken Tortilla Soup a try, but make it a little bit healthier 🙂
