Here’s a comforting, easy Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup—perfect for a cozy, hands-off meal:
🍲 Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 carrots (sliced)
- 2 celery stalks (chopped)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Salt & black pepper (to taste)
- 2 cups egg noodles
- Optional: fresh parsley + lemon juice for serving
Instructions
1. Add to Crock Pot
Place chicken, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, broth, water, and spices into your slow cooker.
2. Cook
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
3. Shred Chicken
Remove chicken, shred with forks, then return it to the pot.
4. Add Noodles
Stir in egg noodles and cook:
- High: 20–30 minutes (until tender)
5. Finish & Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning. Add fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon if you like.
Tips
- Add a bay leaf for deeper flavor (remove before serving)
- Use rotisserie chicken for a faster version (add near the end)
- For thicker soup, mash a few carrots into the broth
- Want it extra rich? Add a splash of cream at the end
Make It Your Way
- Low-carb: Skip noodles, add zucchini noodles
- Spicy: Add chili flakes or hot sauce 🌶️
- Extra hearty: Add potatoes or corn
If you want, I can give you a pressure cooker (Instant Pot) version, a creamy version, or a desi-style chicken noodle soup twist.
