Healthy Mushroom Soup With Spinach and Chicken (One Dish Meal Idea)

When it’s cold outside, the crockpot is my best friend. Last week I accidentally came up with a new favorite crockpot recipe. I’m sharing the mushroom soup with spinach and chicken dish with you today.

Healthy Mushroom Soup With Spinach and Chicken (One Dish Meal Idea)


I had bought some portobello mushrooms to put in my omelets for the week, but I didn’t really care for the mushrooms with the eggs. I love portobello mushrooms though and I hate to waste food. That’s why I chopped up the two large mushrooms and put them in the crockpot with the cooked chicken (which had made its own broth).

I also added a bag of spinach (see picture below). The spinach looks like a lot in the bag. Spinach shrinks a lot as it cooks though, so you actually do need that much.

I really made this dish for myself, but to my pleasant surprise, Reggie and both of the kids loved it too. They even asked for seconds. I thought that the dark broth (due to the mushrooms) might turn them off but it didn’t.

You can call it soup or stew. It’s like that whole sweet potato/yam dilemma that I had a while back. It just depends on whom you ask. Whatever it’s called, I’ll take it. Anything that makes my kids (especially Sean) gobble up spinach and portobello mushrooms is tops in my book!

Recipe Notes

This dish stands alone. However, if you have a carb lover in your home (like I do), you can serve this along with rice or whole-grain pasta.
