Summer Stew

Crockpots are marvelous....I own five or six of various sizes...look for unopened ones at yard sales.  This recipe is easy and can be done quickly before you leave for the day.  I like chicken thighs for this dish but substitute whatever...the chicken can be frozen...makes no difference to the finished dish.  I reconstitute the dried mushrooms in chicken broth.

Chicken Stew

6 chicken thighs, boned

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

32 ounces of chicken stock

1 cup of dried mushrooms

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 bay leaf

1 tsp. of ground rosemary (if dried) or 1 sprig of fresh rosemary (you can use more if you like the flavor of rosemary)

freshly ground nutmeg

Throw all ingredients in the crock pot.  Cover, set on lowest heat for eight hours and leave.  Savory meal awaits you when you get home.
