Mexican Slow Cooker Chicken Soup

We have been saying we are going to make more slow cooker recipes for years.  EVERY time we do, the recipe is delicious.  I guess food doesn't like to be rushed!  SLOW and LOW for meats is always a winning formula and this time is no different. The seasoning is delicious and hits the spot when you are craving those incredible classic Mexican spices. This is a very filling soup and is delicious with buttered english muffin, baked pita chips, or our jalapeno corn bread.
