Instructions

Place the chicken, cream, salsa, adobo seasoning and salt in the crock pot. Cook on low for 4 hours or chicken is completely cooked.
Shred or chop the chicken. Then add the chicken back to the crock pot.
Pour in the chicken broth and half of each of the cheeses.
For a thicker soup add one tablespoon of xanthan gum as well.
Cook on low for one more hour or until cheese is melted.
While the soup is cooking, make the tortilla strips by cutting the shells into strips. Dredge through butter and place on a pan and bake on 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Do not burn.
Serve the soup with the remaining shredded cheeses and tortilla strips.
