Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

This was really good. I made a few minor changes. I didn't bake the corn tortillas. I just bought a bag of tostitos. I will also be adding green onion, sour cream, and cheese when serving. I also doubled the chicken and added a little bit more of everything since we like leftovers!
