Chicken Tortilla Soup

I am going to lay out chicken tonight so that I can put this in a crockpot tomorrow. Minus the beans! Yuck! I will add green beans instead. Did you notice there is nooooo tortilla chips in receipe. But if you wanted you could use tortillias, placed flat on cookie sheet and spread low fat shreded chesse and bake for 4 to 5 minutes. Then dip them in the soup. I did that for the enchillada soup I made a few weeks back. OMG it was heaven.
