I am from Southern California and have always loved me some good Mexican food.  Now that I live here in Utah, authentic Mexican food is harder to find.

I don’t really know how “authentic” this Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup is but it sure makes me feel like I’m at home in Southern California surrounded by all of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

Another thing that I love about this soup is that you can make it as mild or as spicy as you would like.  Me?  I like more of a mild spicy flavor.  My husband? He wants to burn his nose hairs off.  It’s all up to you!

But no matter how spicy you make it, I know that you are going to want to keep this recipe close to your el corazon (heart) because you are going to love it so much!

How much do I love it?  It is one of my favorite recipes that I have and I could eat it EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

It’s that good.

Oh and did I mention that this soup is made in your crockpot?

Yeah, baby.

I love my  crockpot and this is the one that I love!
