Have you pulled out your crockpot for fall cooking yet? If not, do it! Go! I’ll wait! Wipe out the dust and start slicing up some carrots.

WHY I LOVE THIS CROCK POT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE

It doesn’t take much to put together a batch of chicken noodle soup just like it doesn’t cost much to open a can of chicken noodle soup. But the flavor is world’s apart between the two meals. If it’s a cold day or you’re feeling under the weather, this crock pot recipe is going to fill you up, give you the boost you need to get back up on your feet sooner. The chunky vegetables and wide egg noodles are delicious and the chicken gives you the boost of protein. You’ll enjoy every spoonful!

HOW TO MAKE EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP RECIPE

Follow these simple steps to enjoy a big bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, the ultimate comfort food!

STEP 1

Here’s what you’ll need: Chicken (don’t worry about thawing first), onion carrots, celery, garlic, chicken broth, thyme, parsley and bit of salt and pepper. Place all the ingredients into the slow cooker.

STEP 2

Cover and cook, stirring occasionally. Cook time is on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours. Ten to fifteen minutes before the time is up, remove the chicken breasts, shred the chicken on a cutting board. Add the chicken back into the crock pot, along with package of wide egg noodles. Stir them in and make sure they are submerged in the liquid. Cook until the timer goes off, or until the noodles are cooked through. Serve in a bowl and enjoy with some oyster crackers or saltines!

RECIPE NOTES

  • Wide egg noodles are a great option. They have a great texture in each bite and they keep their shape better than other noodles while enjoying filling your bowl of soup.

  • The best part of making a crock pot meal is that the food has a really long time to simmer and cook, really flavoring up the dish. So using chicken breasts is perfect in this soup because they have time to really become tender and easy to shred. The stock will become more flavorable from it. But if you have leftover rotisserie chicken, it’s also a good use of meat.

  • If you prepare your own bone-in chicken or turkey, you can easily make your own Chicken or Turkey stock to freeze for later use in making soups. It’s absolutely worth it and easy to freeze for any kind of meals you use stock for.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH YOUR BOWL OF SOUP

  • You can definitely throw together a side salad as an excellent option.

  • Dinner rolls with some honey butter would be amazing!

  • Garlic Herb Pinwheels

  • Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

HOW TO FREEZE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Let the soup come to room temperature completely. Then add the soup to a container made for freezing or add them to muffin tins, freeze them into their shape, then remove them from the muffin tin and toss them into a freezer ziploc. You can keep them in the deep freeze for 2-3 months, ready to pull out when you’re feeling under the weather or just need a hearty warm meal!

USING CHICKEN BROTH VS CHICKEN STOCK

Both come from chicken! Chicken broth flavor comes from the meat of chicken and tends to be more affordably sold in the supermarket. Whereas Chicken stock comes from bones of chicken (or another animals bones) and the full flavor it offers comes from the gelatin released from the bones after a long time of simmering.

IS CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP HEALTHY?

The soup is made with all homemade ingredients, no preservatives and antioxidants and nutrients are included in each bite from all your veggies. The awesome part about making your own soup is you also reduce the sodium intake that you would get automatically from a can of soup, but can still add a little salt if you wish.

    Is it possible to overcook? Can I keep it on low for 12 hours?

      It should be just fine. You just have to watch your noodles being overcooked so don’t add them as early!

    Tara, THANK YOU! I completely forgot to mention anything about the chicken after placing it into the crockpot, so I've updated my post. Remove and shred the breasts just before you add egg noodles and then toss it back in. Thanks so much!

    do the chicken breasts break down or do you have to take them out to cut into bite pieces?
