Skinny Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe 415

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium/high heat in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. I like mine to be a bit under-sauteed, to keep a bit of their crunch.
• Once sauteed, add the onion and garlic to a slow cooker over high heat. Add in all other ingredients except for tortillas and garnishes. Stir to combine.
• Heat on high, covered, for 2-3 hours, or on low for 4-5 hours.
• Before serving, prepare the tortilla crisps: In a small saucepan, heat the canola oil over medium/high heat.
• Spray each tortilla with olive oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Use a pastry brush to spread out the taco seasoning evenly.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into 1/2 inch strips.
• Cook the strips in batches, about 2-4 minutes or until browned. Some of the taco seasoning will come off into the oil, and that's okay.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove the strips and allow to drain on a paper towel.
• When ready to serve the soup, serve garnished with extra cilantro, low fat sour cream, jalapeños, and tortilla strips. Or any of your favorite toppings!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place chicken, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, onion, green chiles, and garlic into a slow cooker. Pour in water and chicken broth, and season with cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Stir in corn and cilantro. Cover, and cook on Low setting for 6 to 8 hours or on High setting for 3 to 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with oil. Cut tortillas into strips, then spread on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes. To serve, sprinkle tortilla strips over soup.

Steps:

• 1. Place chicken on the bottom of the slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients. 2. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. 3. Preheat oven to 350. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. If you don't have 2 sheets then you will have to bake in shifts. 4. Cut the tortillas into thin strips. Place strips evenly on baking sheets. Mist the tops with more cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper. 5. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the strips are golden brown. 6. Serve on top of the soup!
