Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
Alexis Anderson

Why do I love my crock pot? Let me count the ways.

The anticipation of the olfactory overdose at my front door at the end of a very, very long work day at The Daily Meal offices; its beautiful Kansas City Chiefs-red color (a team near and dear to my heart); the requisite leftovers; and, most important to this kitchen novice, the near-complete lack of culinary skill required to make something incredible... Should I go on?

This particular chicken tortilla soup is easy as heck (don't let the list of ingredients fool you!), healthy, and reheats ever-so-nicely.

Cover, and cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours.

To serve, crumble tortilla chips on the surface and top with sour cream, shredded cheese, and sliced avocado (my favorite!).
