The Best Chicken Tortilla Slow Cooker Soup Recipe

This is one of my favorite chicken tortilla slow cooker soups in the world! The ingredients are all the items I have in my pantry, food storage or freezer stash. Of course, I love cooking everything in the slow cooker. This is actually my sister Carol’s family recipe I am sharing today. This chicken tortilla slow cooker soup recipe has a different way to cook the chicken…I LOVE the chunks instead of using shredded chicken.

I LOVE North Bay Trading Company products because they are so fresh. You open this bag of garlic and oh my goodness….the smell is fabulous! You will never buy the grocery store garlic powders again.

One thing my sister and I both like is the smaller packaging of the freeze-dried, dehydrated items. This is the company I get emails all the time asking “what is the name of the organic food storage” products you talk about…….this is it. I LOVE them.
