Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Ingredients In Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup
Here’s what you need to make this easy Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup:
Chicken Breasts: We’ll cook these low and slow so that they fall apart and are extra tender. Soup Veggies: Diced carrots, onion, and celery. Seasonings: Aside from salt and pepper, I add fresh garlic and parsley, dried thyme and rosemary, and a couple of bay leaves. Chicken Stock: I suggest using low-sodium chicken stock, or stock that you’ve made yourself. Vegetable stock also works well in this recipe. If you’re in Europe, try it with water mixed with 2 teaspoons of Vegeta seasoning. Noodles: Wide egg noodles are my favorite for chicken noodle soup, but you can use thinner ones if you like.

How To Make Chicken Noodle Soup in a Slow Cooker
Recipe Tips
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of your chicken, and remove it from the pot once the temp reaches 165°F/74°C. Avoid Overcooking. This isn’t a recipe that you can leave in the slow cooker for an entire 8-hour workday. 6 hours on low is the longest I would cook this for. This recipe fits in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. If you’re using a smaller version, you will want to cut the recipe in half. (This is the large rectangular slow cooker that I own and love!) You can easily add other vegetables to this recipe if you want to. Frozen peas or green beans are yummy, but be sure to toss them in at the end with the noodles, and not in the beginning with the fresh veggies.
Storing Tips
Crockpot chicken soup with noodles is best when you eat it right away. Once the noodles are cooked, they will start to get softer and softer with time and will eventually get overcooked. You can of course store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days, if you don’t mind softer egg noodles in your soup. Because of the noodles, I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
What To Serve With Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup
