Homemade Tortilla Strips:

Slow Cooker Instructions:
Saute onions in the oil for 3 minutes while you prep the garlic, carrots and celery. Add them to the pot, and saute another 3 minutes.
In a large slow cooker add all the soup ingredients.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. (I prefer LOW setting)
Once cooked, take the chicken out and shred chicken with a fork, then return it to the soup.
Instant Pot Instructions:
Set the Instant pot to the saute function. Saute onions in the oil for 3 minutes while you prep the garlic, carrots and celery. Add them to the pot, and saute another 3 minutes.
Add the remaining soup ingredients besides the corn.
Give everything a good stir, and set your Instant pot to pressure cook on high. Pressure cook for 15 minutes. Manually let pressure out, covering steam with a kitchen towel. (Or allow pressure release naturally.)
Shred chicken with two forks and return it to your pot. Add corn, and return to saute setting for a few minutes just to heat through.
Stockpot Instructions:
Saute onions in the oil for 3 minutes while you prep the garlic, carrots and celery. Add them to the pot, and saute anoth
