Santa Fe-Tastic Chicken Tortilla Soup image

This is Rachel Ray's. It is so awesome, I can't think of a single modification....it is perfect. It is more time consuming than most tortilla soups because of the roasted veggies, but it is totally worth it. If you wanted to go vegetarian, leave out the chicken, there is so much to this soup it would be great that way.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.
