Ingredients Needed:
Broth: a low-sodium chicken broth is best for this recipe. That way we can control the salt and add it just as needed. Vegetables: carrots, celery, and onion make the perfect savory flavor base for this soup. Seasoning: a combination of salt, freshly minced garlic, dried parsley, dried thyme, freshly ground black pepper, turmeric (optional), and a bay leaf brings so much flavor to this soup, while fresh parsley adds an extra vibrant flavor. Chicken: boneless skinless chicken breasts give you tender chicken that shreds easily. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs would work as well! Noodles: I’ve used dry egg noodles in a twist shape, but you can use any kind of short-cut pasta here.

Tips and Notes
Get to know your crockpot: All slow cookers are different and cook differently. I’ve used a 4-6 quart pot for this recipe, but if yours is a different size, the cooking time may vary. Don’t overcook the pasta: Catch the pasta right at the point of al dente, as it can become overcooked quickly. Adjust seasonings to taste: Chicken broths and stocks have slightly different flavors and salt content, so you may need to adjust the seasonings after cooking.
Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup Variations
Use other fresh herbs: Add some fresh thyme or fresh rosemary instead of fresh parsley to add other flavors. Make it creamy: Add some heavy cream to this soup to make it a little bit creamy, or check out my Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup for a super creamy crockpot chicken noodle soup! Use turkey instead: Swap the chicken for turkey and turkey stock if you prefer. It’s a great recipe for leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Alternatively, check out my Turkey Noodle Soup. Use a roast chicken: if you’ve got leftover Perfect Roast Chicken, you can use the meat to add to your soup and you can use the bones to make this Homemade Chicken Stock. It will be even more flavorful and nutritious! Change up the veg: You can use any kind of vegetable you like in this slow cooker chicken soup to add nutrients, color, and flavor. Just remember that not all vegetables need a long cook time: broccoli, green beans, spinach, and more can be added just at the end.
Serving Suggestions
This crockpot chicken noodle soup is great to make dinner for the whole family with minimal effort! It’s a hearty soup with noodles and delicious chicken that can be served on it’s own, but we love to have bread on the side to make it a complete meal. Soak up the juices with some Garlic Bread or Breadsticks, or my Homemade Dinner Rolls. Add nutrients with extra veggies like these Roasted Green Beans, or Air Fryer Broccoli. or Mixed Roasted Vegetables.
