Here
is a healthy great tasting meal of soup and salad that wont heat up
the kitchen very much. Use the slow cooker to do the work and
surprise with a homemade soup that isn't laden with salt.
Serve
this with a side salad of mixed vegetables in a sweet & sour
dressing. A wonderful way to enjoy a meal made from scratch that
won't wear you out.

2
cups fresh mushrooms, washed and halved
1
onion, cut in a medium dice
