I have Mom to thank for this yummy Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup with Black Beans, which she adapted from this Kraft recipe.
And generously shared with us since she knows how much I love tortilla soup. Am I lucky, or what?
It think it's fun how other members of my family are jumping on the crock pot cooking bandwagon with me - sharing ideas and recipes.

Recipe Notes
The soup was hearty and flavorful, especially with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime, which is how I like it best. And I'm counting it as a day of crock pot cooking, since I heated a serving in my little 1-½-Quart slow cooker to have for lunch. Thanks Mom!
