French Onion Mushroom Soup

French Onion Mushroom Soup

French Onion Mushroom Soup, prep

This is a very tasty soup, and you won’t even miss the gruyere cheese and baguette. If you like mushrooms, add them. Chicken broth can be substituted for beef broth. Always tastier, if you use your own home-made broth!

It’s a spicy and hearty soup making it a full meal on a cold, snowy day. My favorite brand of turkey kielbasa is from Wellshire Farms.  But for an extra kick to the stew use turkey andouille sausage. This recipe easily can be made in the crockpot.
