I have actually never had chicken tortilla soup until I made this recipe, so I can’t compare it to anything. That being said, I really liked this recipe! Mostly because it is so ridiculously easy (seriously, one of the easiest crock pot recipes) but it makes quite a bit, so if you’re only cooking for two you might get sick of it before you’ve run out! Unfortunately, you can’t really cut down since part of what makes the recipe so easy is that it’s just a bunch of cans you mix together!
