Yes, cook on low for about 4 hours.

Can I use homemade shredded chicken?

Does this freeze well?

Can I substitute different soups?

Cream of celery or cream of onion can be used for variation.

How do I prevent the sauce from thickening too much?

Add a splash of broth or milk before serving if needed.
