The magic about this recipe is that there is little preparation and it is absolutely delicious! On the days that I know I am going to have little time for cooking, I can throw this into a crock pot in the morning and when I get home from work that evening, dinner is ready to go! Add tortilla chips and cheese to finish it off. This is one of my son's favorite soups, and for someone who was a picky eater growing up, that says a lot!
