Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Now that it is starting to get cold here in SL,UT I have decided once again to bring agony to my wife by making some more soup!  HAHA.  She hasn't tried this one yet but she will tonight.  Anyway, last night I knew that I wanted to take a soup with me to work for the next day and I needed to dejunk my fridge.  What better way to do it than making a soup that can cook overnight and have it be ready for me when I wake up.  All through the night my wife would turn to me and say I hate you...it smells so good and I can't sleep now!  LOL.  I love teasing her and making her discover soups that are not just water and oil with some veggies in it.  So after slow cooking for 10 hours this soup came out perfect!  I know I will be making this one again!

Ingredients:
3 cups of veggie stock
3 cups of chicken stock
3tsp of Cumin
8 corn tortillas ( I took a pizza cutter and cut them into what looks like chips)
1 cup *fresh salsa
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
3 Tbsp of fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp of fresh lime juice
2 chicken breast.  (I used the chicken breasts of one Costco rotisserie chicken.  It added some great flavor)
2 tsp of black pepper
1 whole cayenne pepper
1 whole onion chopped


*fresh salsa
1 cup fresh tomatoes
1 jalapeno
salt and pepper to taste
Juice from 1/2 of a lime

Put all into a food processor and blend together

Directions:
Take everything and mix it together and place your slow cooker on low and go do something else!  I didn't add additional salt to this as the stock already has sodium in it.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and hard corn tortilla strip chips on top

When it is done it will almost look like a paste.  Like I said it turned out great and it is yummy on a cold day!
