Make this classic, comforting Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup for a warm, hearty meal with minimal effort. This Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe delivers tender chicken and soft noodles, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, dried parsley, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and bay leaf into your slow cooker.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard the bay leaf.
  4. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Increase the slow cooker setting to high (if it was on low) and add the egg noodles. Cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Do not overcook the noodles.
  6. Stir well before serving. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use low-sodium broth and lean chicken breast.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, you can sauté the onions, carrots, and celery in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • If you are making this ahead of time, cook the noodles separately and add them just before reheating to prevent them from becoming mushy.
