Chicken and Shrimp Tortilla Soup

It is Sunday afternoon....more specifically it is St. Patrick's Day...and where are we? We are home. We have finally found that we are in that "weird stage"...married...no kids...no longer in our 20's....AND all of our friends have kids...therefore...we would just be those weird old people trying to relive their 20's if we were to go out and celebrate the holiday...kinda depressing for us...the past 3 St. Patty Day's were the best days because they were spent at the Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training game...and that, my friends, is a GREAT time. So, sorry to vent, but it was on my mind...guess we are going to have to succumb to peer pressure soon and be like everyone else our age...oh how I don't want to grow up...

Anyway, felt like making another Crock Pot dish and wondered if I could do shrimp in the Crock Pot...so, I threw this stuff together...it is very easy...and it is nice for these cloudy (hopefully) last days of Winter...
