White Chili Soup

So, since I am currently working on my nursing degree and taking care of a home, two children, a dog AND of course the husband... I find myself falling more in love with my crock pot than ever before.  I love being able to throw everything in the crock pot in the morning, and when I get home from school dinner is ready!  It's awesome.  My family can live off of more than Ramen noodles!  They appreciate it too.  

So if you are looking for something you can do easily in the crock pot that tastes great, give this one a shot.  Follow along and I'll show you how to make it:
