The Best Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
NOTE: In the comments, you will see that a few people have reported their noodle disintegrating after adding them to the crockpot. I have no idea why this is happening, and have NEVER had that happen any of the times we have made this soup. BUT, I have only used No Yoke brand noodles. Other people have also reported success with No Yoke Noodles and Walmart Generic brand noodles. If you do not have access to those brands of noodles and are concerned, you can also just boil your noodle separately.
Directions
- In a 6 quart crockpot place whole chicken breasts on the bottom and top with , carrots, onion, celery, garlic, olive oil, thyme and bay leaf.
- Next add in chicken broth, water, and season with salt and pepper to taste. I used 1/2 teaspoon salt & 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Cover and cook on low heat 6 – 7 hours.
- Remove cooked chicken breasts and cut into bite sized pieces. Place chicken back in to the crockpot. Now add in egg noodles and parsley.
Cover and cook just until noodles are tender, 5-10 minutes.
- Enjoy with your favorite crackers!

Always looking for new recipes. Wanted to dust off and use the crock pot more. Altered amounts as cooking for 2, but came out great. Tasty and fresh healthy.
This smelled amazing before I even started cooking it. I read all the comments about the noodles disintegrating, so I boiled the noodles separately and added them to the pot right before we ate just to be safe. Delicious, easy recipe.
Great recipe. Made this again yesterday. 1st time was with breasts but then changed to thighs since husband likes those better. Also doubled amount of chicken since he likes more. My cooker only does high so 4 hours is perfect. Added more garlic & bay leaves and doubled salt & pepper. He says it is good now. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Double the chicken sounds like a yummy idea to me 🙂
I personally do not like the onions.
Started at 10am, ready for dinner and absolutely perfect for the frigid weather in NY today! No noodle issues! Yay!! Kicked it up with some Siracha! Yummo!!! Thanks for the recipe!
