The weather has been super cold all over the country! The best way to warm a body up is to fill it full of warm foods – plus, spicy things can help raise your body temperature. So, this Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe helps fit the bill with it being a warm soup AND spicy 🙂 Plus, aside from some garnishes, most people have all the ingredients on hand – making this a very easy RoTel recipe meal to whip up.
Since all the ingredients are pretty much cooked before putting together, if you would rather (I pretty much always rather) you can add it to the crockpot. Just turn it on low and allow it to cook 4-6 hours. Then, the house smells super yummy, too!
