My Best Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is my version of Chicken Totilla Soup
I like this dish very much, it's good because
it's a easy time saving slow cooker recipe,
you can double and even triple the quantities
and it comes out great all of the time.
Don't skimp on the garnishes for this soup.

Ingredients
46 ounces chicken broth
15 ounces tomato sauce
3 or 4 fresh tomatoes, diced
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
rotisserie chicken from the deli
2 anaheim chilies, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1 onion, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon chipotle pepper (optional)

Garnishes:
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 fresh avocado, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, pulled from stem
1 lime, cut into wedges
2 cups lime flavored tortilla chips, crushed

Directions:
Throw everything except the garnishes in your crock pot
and let it cook on high for 5-6 hours.
Dress with garnishes and give it a squeeze of fresh lime juice
If you are not using a crock pot, saute the garlic and onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil before adding the remaining ingredients.
Simmer for at least an hour so that the flavors mix together.
