~slow cooker chicken tortilla soup~

I get mailers from my local grocery store(Smith's)
that have recipes along with coupons.
 I've been looking for
a good tortilla soup recipe for awhile now
and I think I finally found THE ONE
when I got one of their mailers a couple weeks ago.    
Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 onion, chopped
4 frozen chicken breasts
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
2 (4 oz) cans chopped mild green chili peppers
1 can (15 oz) mild red enchilada sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth
1 tsp each.....CUMIN, CHILI POWDER, SALT
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 pkg (10 oz) frozen corn
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
Place the chopped onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer the frozen chicken breasts on top. Add the diced tomatoes and their juice, green chiles, enchilada sauce, garlic, chicken broth, spices and bay leaf. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Remove bay leaf. Remove chicken to a plate and shred with two forks. Return to slow cooker. Stir in corn. Continue to heat until corn is hot. Add a handful of chopped cilantro. Top with anything you like....we did avocado slices, shredded cheese and sour cream.
Serves 6-8.
IT'S JUST ABOUT AS EASY AS IT GETS
AND IT IS DELICIOUS!
