Chicken Tortilla Soup


1 lb. shredded, cooked chicken
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can enchilada sauce
1 can chopped green chilis
10 oz. frozen corn
1 can chicken broth
2 cups water
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tbl. chopped cilantro
7 corn tortillas
vegetable oil

Place all ingredients except tortillas and oil in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. Preheat oven to 400. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with oil. Cut into strips and spread on baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes, or until crisp. Serve soup garnished with tortilla strips.

My changes:
Put frozen, boneless, skinless chicken breasts straight into slow cooker. I will shred them later.
Used dehydrated minced onions so the onion haters won't know they're there.
Used green enchilada sauce.
Used canned corn, drained.
I didn't have chili powder so I used chili seasoning.
Left out bay leaf because I didn't have one.
Left out cilantro since Little Girl can't tolerate it.
