A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I made this recipe & added a few things. Turned out restaurant quality thank you. Additions: Pan fried 1 large brown onion and 4 cloves of garlic with water over low heat and simmered once brown I added 600g of chicken breast cut into small pieces. Once cooked I transferred to the risotto, slow cooker. I also added 1/2 cup of milk as per the condensed Mushroom soup can suggestion. Also rather than putting the mushrooms straight into the slow cooker. I pan fried them to get that yummy flavour pumping.

I'm normally suspicious of any kind of rice or pasta in the crock pot because they can get so mushy. However, risotto is supposed to have that creamy texture so I gave this a shot. It turned out pretty good. Lacked a little flavor but I used low sodium soup so that might be the difference. I do like that it called for fresh mushrooms not canned.

Got this recipe from the newsletter today. Loved it!
1 star....I was ready to make this recipe until I noticed that I had to add a can of mushroom soup. I prefer not to use manufactured products as they add too much sodium among things. If this recipe was from scratch I would make it.
