CROCK POT CHICKEN VEGETABLE SOUP (NOTHIN' FANCY, JUST YUMMY)
There is nothing crazy wonderful about this, it's just a good, hearty chicken and vegetable soup. I have been trying to eat more "low-carb" so this recipe isn't super creamy. You can add 1 cup of chopped potatoes and 1/2 cup cream if you don't care about carbs and I'm sure it would be even better. I just love to eat this soup and I hope you will too. It's very simple to make and just plain old good!

Steps:
- Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add chicken to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Add onion and cook until chicken is browned and onion is slightly translucent, about 3 more minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- Add carrots, celery, bell pepper, thyme, and pepper to the slow cooker; mix to combine. Stir in diced tomatoes and enough chicken broth so vegetables are just covered with liquid.
- Cover and cook on Low for 7 hours.
- While the soup is cooking, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in egg noodles and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- When soup has finished cooking, stir in cooked egg noodles. Cover and cook until noodles are warm and tender, about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. Different vegetables will add different flavors and textures to your soup. Some good choices include carrots, celery, potatoes, onions, and corn.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. Common additions include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any on hand, you can use water instead, but your soup will not be as flavorful.
- Cook the soup on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. This will give the vegetables time to soften and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make a complete meal.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker chicken and vegetable soup is a delicious and easy way to get a healthy meal on the table. It's perfect for a busy weeknight or a lazy weekend. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and nutritious soup that the whole family will enjoy.
