you can do this in the crock pot too.

I safe all the broth and use as chicken stock

Serving 0f Weight Watchers Tortilla Soup

Serve with Sour Cream (I use Greek yogurt)
And taco chips

 Suggestions
  • When you have leftovers after the holidays or party, make this soup, you can add anything to it and it's wonderful.
  • Try adding fresh spinach, cut up add in about 5 minutes before serving.
  • You can use any meat, shred turkey, shred roast beef or pork, if you use another meat or don't want to do your own chicken stock, use 4 cups of Chicken Broth
  • This is a make it your own soup.
  • We eat this year round, mostly I think because it's a great solo-lunch for me.
  • It's very good without meat, it will be a 0 Point meal with no meat.

Place the Tortillas under the broiler and they will get a bit crispy, some will bubble up, that's OK, pop the bubble and I like them just crisp NOT brown, turn and do the other side too.
