Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Sometimes when I'm in a dinner rut, a good way to get myself out is by making something with the crock pot.  It's a good reminder that 1) a good meal doesn't have to be difficult or time-intensive, and 2) I should use the crock pot more often.  So when I was in a dinner slump a while back, I decided to whip up some chicken taco soup.  It's actually very similar to this easy taco soup, which is a family favorite, so this soup is naturally a  hit in our house.
