    Living in Seattle, the weather changes hit about the same time the kids go back to school. While it means that the house is quieter, it also means that “cold & flu” season is just around the corner. I’ve partnered with Safeway to help keep my family healthy and well fed with homemade chicken tortilla soup and more. ----->Jump to Recipe

    homemade chicken tortilla soup

    It’s important for us to be ready, this means stocking up on our favorite O Organics® ingredients what we need to make Chicken Tortilla soup, and of course I buy Signature Care™ Cold & Flu Liquid Daytime and Nighttime for my husband at my local Safeway down the street.

    safeway sign with o organics

    carries its exclusive line of effective and affordable products known as Signature Care™, you can also find them at all Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, United Supermarkets, Market Street, Albertsons Market and Carrs/Safeway.

    We’ve found that Signature Care™ products provide the same quality and relief that national name brands do, they contain the same active ingredients & are subject to the same manufacturing standards mandated by the FDA as national brands.

    The best part? We get relief from cold and flu symptoms, save money AND all Signature Care™ products sold exclusively at Safeway come with a 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back promise.

    With our Cold & Flu products ready to go for the first illness of the season, it’s time to make the soup. O Organics® products are a staple in our pantry, refrigerator and freezer. I love that when I see that label, I won’t be disappointed.

    The cold and flu remedy in our house is Chicken Tortilla Soup and Signature Care Cold & Flu Liquid Daytime and Nighttime.  By using O Organics ingredients and Signature Kitchen products as needed, I know I’m making a meal my family will enjoy.

    Tip: Use pre-chopped frozen onions from Safeway’s Signature Kitchen® line. I loathe chopping onions and this is such a time saver.
