SLOW COOKER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup image

This slow cooker version of the classic soup is super easy to make. We used chicken thighs because they're less expensive than breasts and tend not to dry out. If you like, skip the noodles and stir in your favorite cooked grain at the end.

Time 8h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

8 ounces carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 3 large carrots)
6 ounces celery, sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 5 large stalks)
1/4 small onion, peeled and root end intact
2 large sprigs parsley, plus 1/4 cup chopped leaves
2 large sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 thighs)
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 ounces wide egg noodles (about 4 cups)
1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Toss the carrots and celery together in the slow cooker. Add the onion, sprigs parsley, thyme, bay leaf and 1 teaspoon salt.
Rub the chicken thighs all over, including under the skin, with 1 teaspoon salt total, and put them on top of the vegetables. Add the chicken broth. Cover, and cook on low for 8 hours. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, remove the chicken and stir in the noodles.
While the noodles cook, remove and discard the chicken skin and bones and shred the chicken-it will mostly fall apart on its own. When the noodles are done, turn off the cooker, remove the parsley and thyme stems, and add the shredded chicken and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Taste, and add more lemon juice and salt as needed. Stir in a good amount of pepper and the chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Tips:

Use a whole chicken: This will give your soup a richer flavor and more protein. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but you may need to add some extra chicken broth or water to the soup.
Roast the chicken before adding it to the soup: This will help to deepen the flavor of the soup. To roast the chicken, simply place it on a baking sheet and drizzle it with olive oil. Roast the chicken at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and color to the soup. Some good vegetables to add to chicken soup include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and turnips.
Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good herbs and spices to add to chicken soup include thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Let the soup simmer for a long time: The longer the soup simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the soup for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have time.
Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chicken soup include noodles, rice, crackers, and bread.
