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!

Hi there could I add Cream of chicken soup powder into this soup to make it creamier? Thank you
I have made this chicken noodle soup numerous times and we absolutely love it. We have it for dinner, I freeze some and still have some left over for lunch. Easy to make. I just wish it had the nutrition information since I am a life-time member of Weight Watchers and always watching my points.
Hi, I made this last night as we have a cold running through our house and it was good! I felt like something was missing not sure what though. I did make grilled cheese with it cause I wasn’t sure if my kids would eat it. So I have a lot of leftovers!! I’m wondering if I could make some kinda casserole out of this? I didn’t save any juice except very little. I jus don’t want it to go too waste.
Thank you!
I would like to make this in the Instant-pot. What is the timing on the chicken (everything except noodles and parsley)?
Hello, my kitchen is currently filled with the delicious aroma from your homemade broth recipe! I was wondering since I have a whole chicken boiling for the broth could I shred that and use it in the crockpot for the chicken soup?
Thanks!
Alexis
You sure can!
