Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup

Its that time of the year that I love making soup. Whether its my Slow Cooker Clam Chowder or Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup there is nothing better on a chilly fall day. The inspiration for this recipe was found over on spendwithpennies.com. I changed it up a little to make it my own.  Using precooked chicken that I happened to have made it extra quick. Rotisserie chicken would also be a great option.
