Ultimate Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

This slow cooker chicken noodle soup recipe is satisfying enough to serve as a complete meal with a side of fresh bread or garlic bread and enjoy this cozy meal in a bowl.

We often think of chicken noodle soup as a cold weather soup for a cold winter day, or to soothe a sore throat but it’s really delicious any time of year!

The great thing about a crock pot is that it doesn’t heat up the kitchen on a hot summer day!

Ingredients for chicken noodle soup in crock pot.

STEP ONE – Spray the bottom of a 7 quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray.

STEP TWO – Lay the chicken breasts in the bottom, along with the sliced carrots, diced onions, sliced celery, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves.

Sometimes, if I have a bit of extra time, I saute the celery and onions in a bit of olive oil for five minutes first.

Chicken broth is added to ingredients in crock pot.

STEP THREE: Pour the chicken broth over the top.  Cover and cook on low for 6 hours (or on high for 4 hours).

Chicken is placed on a plate and shredded with two forks.

STEP FOUR – Remove the chicken breasts to a plate and shred with two forks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

STEP FIVE – Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and set aside.

Noodles are added to crock pot.

STEP SIX – Add the egg noodles to the crock pot.  Cover and cook high for another 2- minutes.

Can I use different noodles for this soup?

You could use elbow macaroni, small shell, ditalini, orzo, bowtie pasta or fusili.

Add a different pasta shape in a bit sooner than the egg noodles since they will take longer to cook.

Chicken is added back to crock pot.

STEP 7 – Add the shredded chicken and chopped parsley back into the soup.
