This chicken tortilla soup recipe is so simple and delicious. Made in the Crock Pot, it’s bursting with flavor and perfect for these cool fall evenings.
It’s fall, which means all the cool weather recipes! I love breaking out the Crock Pot to make ALL THE SOUPS this time of year. Days like yesterday make living in the Pacific Northwest worth all the rainy days. A cool, crisp 60 degrees, sunny skies and leaves on the ground. That is one of the many reasons I love this season. Bundling up in cozy sweaters, sitting in front of the fire with a hot cocoa, or in my case, a glass of wine (just being honest). I love getting snuggly under the blankets with the kiddos and the hubs during those story fall evenings.
And nothing brings it all home like something yummy cooking in the Crock Pot. When August hits, I start longing to bring my Crock Pot out. I use it year round, but it gets so much more love once fall hits. I start looking up all the slow cooker recipes and every year I vow to make at least one Crock Pot meal a week. That doesn’t always happen, but just knowing that I can quickly throw a few ingredients in and have it ready by dinner time makes my heart happy. Not to mention all the amazing smells that emanate while the meal is cooking. Yes, I do love me a good slow cooker recipe.
