Last week my dad came to stay with us here in Oklahoma. We had a great time and spent a lot of evenings eating out (one of my fave things to do, y’all), but to put it simply: cooking for two grown men was slightly challenging. Not really, in the grand scheme of things, but I quickly realized that we couldn’t eat out every day for an entire week (ummmm, hello splurge week!). I knew I needed to make something that could go a long way for the three of us and still be healthy!

This Slow Cooker Skinny Chicken Tortilla Soup saved the day, y’all. It was a huge hit! Not only did it make enough for us last week, but we ended up with leftovers for the next few days. Perfect!

Guys, I’m talking the throw it all in and leave it method here. Is there even a better way? If you’ve spent any length of time here on Jar Of Lemons, you know how obsessed I am with my slow cooker. Slow Cooker Beef Carnitas Tacos, anyone? Slow cooker everything! I especially love this particular slow cooker because of it’s programmable feature. The BEST!

Did I mention this recipe is loaded with protein and also happens to be gluten and dairy-free? Excuse me while I devour this RN.
