Slow Cooker Quinoa Chicken Chili

This has been one of our families favorite chicken chili recipes this year.  Sarah shared this with our family and we both have made it a lot...we just forgot to get it up on the blog!  This is a must try recipe that I am sure will be a hit!  We always serve this soup with all the optional toppings. -Kristin

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
