JES' AMAZINGLY DELISH CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

Steps:

• I just dump all of this in the slow-cooker and let it go for a few hours, sometimes I need to add a little extra chicken stock, depending on how thick it is... For a great garnish, you could use store bought tortilla chips, but I like to make my own tortilla strips, and it is super easy! You need: 1 pkg. flour tortillas, and a few tablespoons of veg. oil. Just brush both sides of the tortillas with the veg. oil and cut into thin strips. Place strips on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 7-8 minutes, turning them halfway through. They are crispy and delish in the soup! =] This is a favorite of all my friends and family!
