Crockpot Slow Cookers Change Cooking

Can you imagine life without the beauty of a Crockpot slow cooker? I surely can’t.

This appliance has helped this busy mama get dinner on the table many nights. And the aroma that goes through the house while a yummy meal is cooking is THE BEST. That’s when you know it’s a great recipe. Am I right?

I have several Crockpot recipes on this blog for that very reason. I’m not sure why, but I haven’t yet shared one of my family’s favorite slow cooker meals – Crockpot homemade chicken noodle soup! The first time I made this slow cooker chicken noodle soup my family loved it, so I’ve stuck with the same recipe ever since.

What I like about this slow cooker chicken soup recipe is that it’s not only delicious, but it makes a ton of leftovers. That means that lunches or dinners are covered for the next two or three days! 

Are you ready for the recipe? I hope it will be the best chicken noodle soup recipe you’ve tried thus far, or at least close to it, ha!

Ingredients for Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Celery: These are crisp green stalks with a mild, earthy flavor. They add a nice crunch and freshness to your soup.

Carrots: These are orange vegetables with a sweet and slightly earthy taste. They bring natural sweetness and color to your soup.

Onion: Onions are round, layered vegetables with a sharp and savory flavor that forms the base taste of your soup.

Better Than Boullion Roast Chicken: It’s a concentrated paste that, when mixed with water, provides a flavorful chicken broth, enhancing the taste of your soup.

Bay Leaves: These are aromatic leaves with a mild, herbal taste that adds a subtle earthiness to your soup.

Poultry Spice: A blend of spices specifically created for poultry dishes. It gives your soup a wonderful, savory flavor.

Dried Parsley: This is dried herb leaves with a mild, fresh taste. They’ll add a bit of herbaceous aroma and flavor to your soup.

Ground Thyme: Ground thyme is a powdered herb with a slightly earthy and herby flavor. It complements the other spices in your soup.

Salt: A common seasoning that enhances the overall flavor of your soup.

Pepper: This spice adds a bit of heat and a burst of flavor to your soup. It’s a staple for seasoning.

COOKING HACK: SHRED CHICKEN USING A KITCHENAID STAND MIXER!

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Chop onion, carrots and celery and place in mixing bowl.
2. Place chicken (do not chop or cut) and vegetables in Crockpot, then fill with water to about an inch of the top of the Crockpot. 
3. Add all spices and Better Than Boullion, then stir thoroughly with a large mixing spoon, making sure that the Better Than Boullion is fully dissolved.
4. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-4 hours (I recommend using the low method). Stir occasionally (it’s okay if you won’t be home to do so). note: noodles will be prepared right before serving so they won’t be mushy
5. Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken from Crockpot and place into a medium mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl (I prefer using a stand mixer). Shred chicken using forks or on the lowest setting for the stand mixer (make sure not to over mix the chicken or it will get mushy) to desired shred size. After shredding, add chicken back to Crockpot and stir. 
6. Prepare noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside. Ladle chicken soup into serving bowls and add desired amount of noodles to each bowl. Serve with crackers!
