Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is an adaptation of my favorite slow cooker chicken tortilla soup recipe. If you have the calories to spare, make some tortilla chips in the oven to eat with the soup and top with a bit of sour cream, cheese, avocado and anything else you like! It is very flavorful on it's own, though. Be sure to use high-quality enchilada sauce, as some brands can be greasy. I like to add other veggies in sometimes, such as carrots and squash.

Delicious, and company liked it. :) Just lacked that "zing" to take it to the "Incredible!" level. I'll have to figure out what it's missing and adjust next time. Maybe capers?... Still, it was very easy and tasty, too! - 4/3/10

This rice is so perfectly delicious! This was my first time ever making spanish rice from scratch. I was looking for a recipe because all of the pre-packaged were so gross. This is my new stand-by. I will make it many times in the future! Thanks Tiina! - 3/10/09
