  3. Pour in the condensed French onion soup, condensed tomato soup, beef broth, and water. Stir gently until combined.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
  5. Carve mushrooms into skull shapes. Once the cooking time is complete, stir the mushrooms into the stew and let sit off the heat for 10 minutes.
  6. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs as desired.
