Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
It’s officially cooling down here and that means Soup’s on! I make about 90% of my soups in my crock pot. And here’s a special little story…my very own contributor, Melissa from Bless this Mess, made me some chicken noodle soup about 6 years ago. Why? Because she saw I was having a rough day. That is the kind of person she is…just so caring and service-oriented. And she actually inspired me to make my own homemade crockpot chicken noodle soup (this is back when I was first married and barely knew how to boil water.) Over the years I’ve come up with this ultra simple recipe that is perfectly seasoned. It is the best soup for cold days or when you have the sniffles.
Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 2 Cans of Chicken broth
- 4 stalks celery, chopped
- 1-2 cups baby carrots or 2 regular chopped carrots
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 chicken breasts
- Curly egg noodles
- 2 cubes of chicken bouillon
- Spices: Salt, Pepper, Basil, Garlic, Bay Leaves, Oregano
Instructions
- Put all your ingredients in the crock pot except the noodles and bouillon cubes. For the spices, give each one several shakes and put in 2 bay leaves. Cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours. One half hour from it being done, separate the chicken into pieces and add the noodles and bouillon cubes, and a little water if it needs more liquid. Serve when the noodles are soft.
You inspired me! Got this recipe cooking in my crockpot right this instant. Here’s to FALL TIME and yummy comfort foods!
Great! I love fall foods! I have a pinterest board dedicated for fall foods.
Such a great soup and I do love me some crock-pot recipes! I can’t believe you remember that little meal for so long ago. Aren’t you glad you aren’t in the little apartment anymore! LOL. I was just thinking of all the great people that lived in the building over the years … fun times in Provo!
That meal was SO amazing Melissa–so perfect for that stressful and chilly day and then voila I didn’t have to make dinner! How could I forget that??
Love the simplicity of this recipe! One question though, do you put raw chicken breasts in the crock-pot or are they already cooked?
I’ve always used flash frozen chicken, but yes I put it in raw. And I’ve never ever gotten sick.
How many noodles does this recipe call for
About a cup or so.
How many will this feed?
It feeds our family of 5 with extra for about 3 more servings. So 8?
How big are the cans of broth?
