1 packet of Crockery Gourmet "Seasoning Mix for Chicken"
above includes (food starch-modified(thickening agent?), salt, hydrolyzed soy protein(msg), sugar, non fat dry milk, dried onion and garlic, natural flavor, caramel color, silicon dioxide(keeps powder loose and absorbs moisture -wikipedia), turmeric, spices, citric acid)
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
1 tsp basil, oregano
1 diced green bell pepper
1 diced yellow onion
Tami chopped this stuff up and threw it in the Crockadile for 8 hours on low. Turned out reasonably good, obviously we're underwhelmed by some of the ingredients in the spice packet.
The MSG in particular is frustrating. It is a common migraine trigger for many people myself included. I have not eaten canned soups or frozen meals more than three times in a month in about three or four years. So don't bend over backwards to avoid it because I already maintain extremely low intake of the substance, but keep in mind all the hidden MSG in foods can add up pretty quick. If you know someone that has it as a trigger knowing the codes names can make a big difference.

The "seasoning packet" is effectively a bouillon cube I think.
