1 whole chicken
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can chicken broth
1 white onion
1/2 lb peeled baby carrots

Add a can full of water, mix well.
Add carrots.
Rinse chicken, remove giblets and stuff cavity with onion.
Cook on low heat for about 6 hours.
This will vary depending on you crock pot.
Check after 6 hours.
Meat will be falling off bone, soup will be bubbly, and carrots will be tender.
Gravy is good as is, but I like to take it out and thicken it in a skillet.
Put gravy in skillet, medium heat.
Mix some flour (2-3 T) with a little water (2-3 T), slowly add to gravy, stirring until thick.
Serve with mashed potatoes.
