Here's a great dish that will cook all day in your slow cooker, make your house smell amazing and tastes absolutely delicious! I got this recipe from Allrecipes.com and made a few modifications of my own to make it just right. It's soo easy to make! The crunch of the tortilla strips with the zest of the lime gives this dish so much flavor that I think you'll really love. One bowl of soup is around 135 calories which makes a great healthy meal, not to mention it's VERY filling! I hope you enjoy it!

Here are the ingredients:
1 pound shredded, cooked chicken
1 (15 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, mashed
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce (I used hot to give it a kick)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
2 gloves garlic, minced
2 cups of water
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn
1 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
7 corn tortillas
1 lime
vegetable oil
Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil chicken for 15 minutes. With cooking shears or a fork, thoroughly shred your chicken and place in slow cooker. Add tomatoes, enchilada sauce, onion, green chiles and garlic. Pour in water and chicken broth, and season with cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Stir in corn and cilantro. Cover, and cook on Low setting for 6 to 8 hours or on High setting for 3 to 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with oil. Cut tortillas into strips, then spread on baking sheet. I sprinkled a bit of taco seasoning over tortillas as well to give them a great flavor. Bake in preheated oven until crisp, about 10 minutes. To serve, sprinkle tortilla strips over soup and garnish with a lime.

I love Tortilla Soup and this looks so delish, I'm gonna have to make a doble batch and bring some to work with me everyday!
I really hope you like this recipe, it's one of my favorites to make! Hehe and you probably won't need to double the recipe, it's made in the slow cooker and lasted me a whole week! :)
Hey girl, I found your blog through Jenni D. at Story of My Life... and when I saw you had a slow cooker section, I fell in love.
I bought a slow cooker about 2 months ago and hadn't used it. Then last night I made this Tortilla Soup recipe and it was AWESOME.
My blog has a lot of baking recipes on it, but I might venture out to actual cooking.
Love your blog and your recipes. Keep being fabulous!
Aww thank you SO much Amanda! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It's one of my favorite recipes too and I absolutely LOVE my slow cooker :) Heading over to check out your blog now! xoxo
Kelly I can almost smell and taste this one ... loved the recipe, don't have a slow cooker but will still try it ;)
Kelly, This sounds amazing! It's perfect timing, because the weather turned cold here in Kansas City this week. I love hot soup when it's cold outside!
Why do I punish myself by looking at blogs like yours well before the lunch hour? This tortilla soup recipe looks marvelous, and I'm fairly certain we'll be eating it before week's end.
Ok sooooo I made this and it was KILLER..... loved loved loved it.. My house smelt sooo good when I got home and my partner didn't even realize it was a healthy dinner... THANK YOU
Made this and my roomies coul not get enough! Made a double batch and there were no left overs! But I was wondering what kind of enchilada sauce you used bc the one i used was sort of high in sodium! Let me know that would be awesome! Thanks, Emily
I made this last night and it's fantastic! I didn't have the can of green chilies so I used sriracha - probably not the same thing, but tastes awesome!
Made this tonight and the picky husband and son both loved this! Definitely a keeper and probably a weekly football watching staple in our house!!
Making this tomorrow. :) sounds awesome!!!!
Making this for the second time because it was such a hit, left my house smelling yummy for two days. This is so easy and amazing tasting. I put in frozen chix breast and used bouillon cubes since that is what I had on hand. Amazing! Homemade tortillas, cojita cheese, lime juice, and avocados sliced on top. YUMMY!! Love that you shared this. thanks.
I am from El Paso, TX but currently live in South Korea. El Paso is right on the border with Mexico and that is where true Mexican food is ;) Being in South Korea, I didn't have all the right ingredients for this recipe, but it was close enough and it was good! Thank you so much for sharing this, your recipes, your life. God bless!
I just found your site yesterday and immediately made this Chicken Tortilla Soup! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out to be the best soup I have eaten! Spicy and filling, LOVE IT!!
I have made the vegan sweet potato and lentil soup 2 weekends in a row. You're right it is absolutely delicious. I can't wait to share it with my MIL who loves both lentils and sweet potatoes.
