SLOW COOKER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup image

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.

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:

Choose the right chicken: A whole chicken or chicken pieces with bones will give the soup more flavor. If you prefer boneless, skinless chicken breasts, add them towards the end of cooking to prevent them from becoming dry.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space for the ingredients to circulate and cook evenly.
Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
Let the soup cool slightly before serving: This will help prevent burns and make it easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker chicken soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious and nutritious soup that the whole family will enjoy.
