Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of my very favorite soups to make, it’s definitely a repeat meal in our home.  I even made this soup for my sister’s wedding, and it was a huge hit.  The fact that this soup is super easy, so scrumptious and very inexpensive to make are all reasons why it’s number one on my list of soups.

So with all that being said, I thought I would share with all of you the Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup that I use.  And although this recipe is absolutely perfect as it is, I make a few changes…

• Instead of cooking my own chicken, I simply buy a rotisserie chicken that Walmart almost always has on clearance in their cold deli section.  This saves me time and money.  Usually, one chicken will do the job, but if you want more meat, you can always add two chickens.  I just take all the meat off the bone and toss the meat in the soup when I add all the other ingredients.

• Instead of making my own tortilla chips, I buy the pre-made tortilla strips.  You can buy these at almost any grocery store for around $2.00 or less.

Folks, this soup is so good, and it freezes really well!  I like to use these containers here to freeze all my soups in, as they work wonderful – you can even use them in the microwave.  I am not getting paid to talk about these containers, I just really love them!

*I lay no claim to this recipe.  After trying different Chicken Tortilla Soup recipes, I found this one and absolutely loved the flavor!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Yesterday Sam’s club announced they will be closing 63 of their locations, and about 10-12 stores are expected to be converted to regional distribution centers to fulfill online orders.  This announcement came as a shock to many people, myself included.  It’s also been reported that some employees did not know their location was even closed until they showed up for work.

Here is the list of stores that will be closing.

And probably because of the above announcement, Sam’s club is offering their members a FREE 3-month Sam’s Club membership extension or a full refund for their membership.  To sign up for an extension or a full refund is simple, here’s how:

• Click here and then click the first ‘free 3-month extension offer’ option or click on the refund option of your choice.
• Enter your member number and information

You should receive a confirmation email within about 2 minutes confirming your choice.  Sam’s club is giving their members until March 31, 2018, to extend or get a refund for their membership.

I am actually really excited to tell you all about this!!  I absolutely love surprises and love trying new products, and when you sign up with Birchbox, you can do just that!  So yes, for only $10.00 a month, I am going to spoil myself!!  I deserve it!

If your part of the Sephora VIB or Beauty Insider program, for every dollar you spend you get one point. $100=100 points.  At Sephora, you can pick out one deluxe size sample for every 100 points. Think about that!! Essentially you’re having to spend $100 for just one free sample. With Birchbox you pay $10 a month and get five! Yes, please!

Birchbox is a monthly membership service. It costs $10 a month, there are no shipping or handling fees for the monthly Birchbox and you receive 4-5 deluxe size beauty samples from high-end brands such as NARS, Deborah Lippmann, Stila, Phyto, Pangea Organics, Kate Spade, Juice Beauty, Zoya, and Too Faced. There are even plenty of opportunities to earn points along with way. You can cancel the service at any time so you really are under NO obligation, although I don’t know why you would cancel!

Each month you’ll receive a different mix of beauty products, including makeup, skincare, fragrance, body, and hair products.  All samples are deluxe-sized!

And to make this even sweeter is the Birchbox Points program, which rewards you for signing up for the monthly samples, shopping on Birchbox.com, referring friends to the program, and sending feedback on your samples. The points that you earn can be used to purchase full-size products at Birchbox.com!
