Low Carb Chicken Tortilla Soup

With the cold winter months upon us, we love our soup. Soup can be tricky around our household though, because we try to do a lot of things low-to-no carb. Many soups call for flour, sugar, potatoes, or something that is on my husband's "no eat" list.

I came up with this recipe a week or so back for a gathering we had. It was super simple, and although we did not add any tortilla chips to the recipe, our guests were able to enjoy the saltiness of the chips without the requirements of my husband eating them too. So add chips or don't. Either way, the soup is really delicious!

Note :: Much of the spices I did to taste and then guesstimated afterwards the measurements for you. I would believe that all of the seasoning could be added at once if it makes things easy for you. I also like things a bit more salty, so I added more to my bowls than I did to crockpot as I ate.
