Day 6: Recipe - Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup

For those of you who don't know, Hungry Girl is a brand that provides low-calorie and low-fat (and delicious) recipes through their cookbooks and their website www.Hungry-Girl.com. I am a huge Hungry Girl fan. Their recipes may not offer the most nutrients (they use some processed foods), but they definitely offer a less-guilt alternative to some of my favorite dishes.

This is a Hungry Girl recipe I merged with my own recipe because I wanted to use the amazing slow cooker Adam got me for Christmas.
