Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

by Jamie

I love to cook with the crock pot during the fall and winter months. There is something wonderful and comforting about having dinner simmering away while the hectic-ness of life ensues. Soup is, of course, particularly enjoyable and Chicken Noodle Soup fits right at the top of the list of comfort foods of wonder, yes? I have been working at perfecting a crock pot version of this soup that is both flavorful and satisfying without being mushy and…gross. I hate mushy and gross, don’t you? Chopping the vegetables in large chunks helps them retain more texture. Additionally, using Egg Noodles and adding them right at the end produces a nice hearty texture as well.

Hope you get a chance to try it, gang. Fall is on the horizon, it truly is. Let the baking begin…:)

I can’t find the recipe at the link or anywhere on The Plus Side blog under the food menu or any other search for chicken soup.

Hi Jenn,
Thanks for letting me know about the broken link. It has been fixed and is up and running now. There was a little glitch in the system, but all is well now. I hope you get a chance to give the recipe a try!
All the best,

Two questions: I never use chicken thighs so could I use 3 chicken breasts instead to replace the thighs? Also, do you pre-cook the egg noodles seperately before adding them in the crockpot towards the end? Thanks!

Hi Crystal,
You can certainly use breasts in place of the thighs. However, the dark meat found in thighs really adds to the richness and flavor of the soup. As for the noodles, they will cook quickly right inside the crock pot for you. Hope this helps!
Best,

Hi Jamie,
What size crock pot do you use? I’ve got two different sizes so I want to make sure I use the right one.
Thanks!
Bonnie

Woohoo! I just bought some leg quarters last week in anticipation of soup weather! Yours looks delicious, and the big chunks of carrot truly do help.

Do you put the chicken in uncooked along with all the veggies? And then shred it?

Aimee,
Yep, the chicken goes in raw.

I always worry about mushy noodles so I do my noodles separate. Then add to the bowl of soup. A must try recipe!

also I only have the chicken cubes, do you know how many cubes I would use? Thanks!

Hi Judy,
I would suggest using 3-4 cups of chicken cubes.
All the best,
