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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    This was excellent! I didn’t use the bay leaf and used turkey stock (it was on sale) instead of chicken stock.

    This recipe is delicious!!! The only variation I made was to use gluten free spaghetti. Turned out great.

    1. Great to know gluten free spaghetti worked great!

  3. How do you measure two cups of noodles? They don’t fit into the measuring cup very well.

    I suggest using ounces as your units. The noodles I’m using show two ounces as one serving (so, a pound of noodles.

    For those of you having noodle issues: I’m wondering if removing the crock from the heating unit right after your soup’s done might help. Even though you’ve probably turned the cooker off, it’s still generating heat and continuing to cook your soup (and noodles).

    I read the reviews and used no yoke noodles and cooked them separate. It was an OK recipe, but will not fix again.
