Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Clean Chicken Crock Pot Tortilla Soup
I love finding a good crock pot meal as they are great for busy lifestyles! This soup was easy to prep the night before and then I threw it in the crock pot in the morning and enjoyed an easy no mess dinner!!
You will need:
 2 cups chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium green bell peppers, minced
4 (14.5 oz) cans of organic diced tomatoes
1  small can of chiles
4 cups organic, low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups frozen corn
2 lbs uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tsp of my taco seasoning- recipe can be found on blog
1/4 cup cheddar cheese to top it off
whole grain tortilla chips to top it off
Directions:
1. In a large slow cooker combine all the ingredients. Stir to make sure all ingredients are covered evenly  (the night before I chopped the onions, garlic, green peppers and put that in a bowl with the chicken on top. I put the seasonings on top and sealed with syran wrap until the next morning)
2. Heat on High for 6-8 hours
3. Take chicken out and let cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken and put it back into the soup
4. Top with the cheese and crumbled tortilla chips
** For the 21 day fixers, CIZE, Hammer and Chisel or anyone else following the color coded portion control containers- this is 1 Red, 1 1/2 yellow (with the chips on top- no chips would be 1 yellow), and 1/2 blue depending on how much cheese you top it off with. If I just sprinkle a little on then I do not count the blue!**
