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!

I just made this soup tonight and I love it! Perfect amount of everything! Love this recipe
fantastic! This is a hit with the whole family. I’m making it for the third time tonight–by the request of the kids!
I am so glad you all love it so much!
Thought this sounded awesome so I whipped up a batch. I followed the recipe with one exception; I added extra parsley at the end. In the end, it’s not the best tasting chicken noodle soup. It’s just OK…certainly not my favorite. I doubt I’ll try it again.
Sorry it wasn’t your favorite Cindy. I can only attest to how the recipe is written for the best taste 🙂
This was so easy and delicious! I’ve tried quite a few crock pot chicken soup recipes and this one was by far the best! Thank you!
Sounds simple and easy. I am prepping my grocery list for the week and this is the only chicken noodle soup recipe I have found that does not require 42 different spices and requires being home in the middle of the day. I will cook my noodles separately cuz I am an impatient cook, and knowing me, if my noodles were to disintegrate, I’d probably chuck all the crock contents into the yard and order pizza!
