CHICKEN POT PIE SOUP

2 Cups Chicken Broth
2 Cans Campbell's Golden Mushroom Soup
3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
31/2 Cups Potatoes, Peeled and Cut in Chunks

11/2 Cups Carrots, Peeled and Sliced
1 Large Onion, chopped1 Cup Whole Kernel Corn, Frozened or Canned (drained)
1 Small Can Sliced Mushrooms with Juice
1 Cup Frozen Peas
Seasonings of your choice like garlic, seasoned salt or pepper, italian seasoning or onion powder or basil.

Cook chicken breasts and save the broth. Cut into chunks and put in crockpot along with some of the broth. Add all other ings. to crockpot. Let cook on high for 3 hours. Do not add the frozen peas until the last 20 minutes of cooking time. If making your own broth at two bouillon cubes(Bettr Than Bouillon, chicken flavor) to the water for cooking the chicken. But do not add a lot of seasoned salt as it may make it to salty. I like to add a can of chicken broth alone with the other broth.
