As you know, I LOVE SOUP! And what I love even more is soup that I can cook in the crockpot. Yes it takes longer, but I’m a set-it and forget-it kinda gal.
After posting my 25 Comforting Crockpot Soups post, I had SEVERAL emails requesting a crockpot chicken noodle soup. Well, I listened, and here it is my friends!

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!

Make sure to share it with me below!
I tried to make this soup twice, and I could not get it to taste right. It had an odd “sweet” flavor that I cannot quite describe. At first I thought my celery or carrots were not fresh enough so I made it again, this time tasting everything before I put it in the crockpot. It still had the same flavor. I did add more than 3 stalks of celery, but I don’t think that would cause it to taste “sweet” would it? Perhaps it is the bay leaf. It’s driving me crazy. I have made all kinds of soups, some with bay leaves some without, but none of them had the odd flavor this soup had. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
Do you have a time for cooking in HI?
Thank you for the leave it and forget it chicken noodle recipe. 🙂
You are very welcome Dave!
I bet the people whose noodles didnt turn out right did what I almost did! I just tossed everything in there at the beginning and rereading the instructions, I realized I wasn’t supposed to put the noodles in till the last but so thankfully I caught my mistake right after I turned on the heat and used a slotted spoon to get the pasta out haha. I’ll add it at the end now haha, hope this helps! You might even could make a note (by the noodles on the ingredients list or even as a second sentence in the first step so people read right away don’t add noodles instead of after they’ve already cooked them for 7 hours haha) for people like me who read a recipe too fast and miss important details lol
Hi –
Is Corey’s website still active? I sent a follow up e-mail with a question and she never wrote back as far as I can tell.
I made this chicken noodle soup a second time – it was better than the first time; the one change I made was I used much less onion (the first time I used a very large onion). I added the noodles with each serving. Froze some for later – and was just as good after thawing. Got 5 good meals out of it! With crusty baguette a meal in and of itself!
If anybody knows of a good recipe for Kale Soup (also known as Portuguese Soup) please let me know at my e-mail address of wl4848@yahoo.com.
Looking for something to be made in the Crock Pot. Basic ingredients are kale, potato, kidney beans, and chourico or other sausage meat.
Thanks.
Randy
