Tasty Slow Cooker Soups - Slow Cooker Mushroom Soup Recipe

What can be tastier than a hearty soup? With a West Bend Slow Cooker you can start the soup before you go out in the morning and return to a hot and tasty soup. One of the reasons why a West Bend Slow Cooker is so good for a soup is because the flavor of a soup is greatly enhanced by a long period of cooking.

Of course, if you prefer, you can brown the chicken cubes in your West Bend Slow Cooker before you add the rest of the ingredients. This is one of the other benefits of the West Bend Slow Cooker, actually the West Bend 84716 Versatility 6 Quart Oval Slo Cooker to be more specific, you can use it on the stove or in the oven as well. It is where the part of Versatility comes in.

One more variation I make to this recipe is to fry a little bit of chopped onion with the chicken cubes. I love a little onion in al my soups, but that is a personal preference.
