Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup - 4/5 stars

Made this last Sunday and honestly it was so good my husband asked me to make it again the next day which NEVER happens. A few notes:

I didn't have fire roasted tomatoes so I used regular diced and added a little bit of smoked paprika to compensate. Worked fine. Also I doubled the cumin because we like it spicy and used two jalapeños instead of one. Left the seeds in because we're not cowards in this house lol.

For the chicken I used thighs instead of breasts — they hold up way better in the slow cooker and don't get all stringy. Cooked on low for 7 hours instead of the 8 the recipe says because last time I made something similar it was overcooked.

Only complaint: the recipe says it serves 6 but it barely served 4 of us and my kids are 7 and 9 so it's not like they're eating huge portions. I'd probably 1.5x the recipe next time.

My kids loved it which is honestly a miracle because my daughter usually won't eat anything with visible vegetables in it. I think the tortilla strips on top distracted her.

Will definitely make again. Already bought the stuff for next weekend.
