This is a delicious soup in a southwestern style.  The carb count low — even with corn and a few baked low-carb flour tortilla chips on top.  We’ve added more veggies than the original recipe to bulk it up and cut the carbs.  We also cheated and bought a rotisserie chicken at Whole Foods, shredded it and added at the end for more flavor (and make it easier).   This is a crock-pot recipe so the flavors are amazing.  Here is the original recipe:  Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
