SLOW COOKER: MONTREAL CHICKEN SOUP(click here to print)

MONTREAL CHICKEN SOUP

 1 lb cooked & diced or shredded chicken
8 oz ground sausage
5 oz real bacon pieces (not bacon bits) or cook up some bacon & crumble
1/4 cup onion chopped
3 cloves of garlic minced. I use the kind already done & in a jar.
1 small can sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup parsley chopped
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp Montreal steak seasoning
8 oz of cream cheese cut into bite size pieces
1 cup heavy cream
4 cups chicken broth

Brown up sausage with onion & garlic & bacon if not using bacon pieces. Just cut the bacon up into bite size pieces to cook up with the sausage. Drain grease. Put into crockpot & add remaining ingredients & mix well. Cover & cook on low in your slow cooker for 5-6 hrs. Comes out to about 2 carbs per 1 cup serving.
