Chicken may be substituted for the turkey. The chicken may be boneless breasts, cut into pieces, or tenders and does not have to be cooked ahead of time.

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data
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.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This was delicious! And so simple too. Love the fresh spinach stirred in at the end.

This was pretty good! I had turkey burgers on hand so I crumbled them up and browned them for the meat. Sadly I didn't have any spinach to add, but otherwise it was a pretty tasty soup! Thanks!
