Disappointed. I thought it was very bland. Just not what I'd hoped, wish I could think of what was missing for me. Maybe I'm not as much a fan of mushrooms as I thought I was and there were too many of them...

Tagged in Spring '08 PAC. This is a real timesaver and tastes great! I only used a 12 oz package of button mushrooms bcz my DH hates mushrooms. Didn't use the dried tomatoes (forgot to buy them) or the tapioca. I used a whole (frozen) 4 lb chicken, put the seasonings over the chicken and let cook on high for 8-9 hours. Everyone loved it! I used the leftover broth and chicken parts to make chicken broth overnight on low. Very rich. Thanks so much Shannon!
