SLOW COOKER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
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.

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.
SLOW COOKER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
This is a classic chicken noodle soup recipe from a recent issue of Good Housekeeping that I'd like to try. Update: I have made this soup and really like it. I did use 3-4 skinless chicken breasts in place of the whole chicken, and I substituted 8 cups of canned chicken broth for the water. If you do this, you might want to add a little less salt unless you use a low-sodium chicken broth. I'm not sure why some reviewers say that their egg noodles dissolve, unless they are using the very fine egg noodles. I use a wide noodle and they are just fine after 20 minutes in the Crock-Pot.

- Use a whole chicken for a richer flavor. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Add vegetables that are in season for the best flavor. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
- Use a low-sodium chicken broth to control the saltiness of the soup. You can also use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
- Add some herbs and spices to taste. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, parsley, sage, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the soup on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer the soup cooks, the more flavorful it will be.
