Chicken Tortilla Soup - Feature of the Day

Today is a soup kind of day. It is very cold where I live, as we are currently in Polar Vortex #4. I am sending my kids to school on a day when it is barely above zero. We also have a busy schedule today, so a bowl of Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup by Optimistic Mommy, would not only warm our bellies, it would be convenient too.  In her recipe she shares a great tip on how  to use Chick-Fil-A chicken.  Being in the north, I unfortunately do not have access to one of their stores, but it sure looks good. Be sure to check out Optimistic Mommy for the full recipe. Thanks so much for linking up to Dare to Share Courtney!
