Ingredients
Add at the Beginning
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 medium carrots, sliced into rounds or half moons
- 4 stalks celery, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 cups chicken stock or broth, low sodium preferred
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1.5lbs
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- salt and pepper, to taste
Add at the End
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Add the Ingredients. In a large slow cooker, add all ingredients except for the fresh parsley, lemon juice, and egg noodles. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slow Cook - Cook on low for 6-8 hours. The chicken should be fully cooked and the veggies should be tender. The cook time will vary on your crockpot and the size of your chicken/diced veggies.
- Shred Chicken and Add Noodles. Remove the chicken breasts and chop or shred with two forks. Add back into slow cooker. Add in egg noodles and stir together. Making sure the noodles are submerged in the liquid. Recover the slow cooker and cook for another 5-10 minutes on low until the noodles are just tender. Alternatively, you can cook the noodles separately in a pot of boiling water on the stove.
- Serve and Enjoy. When the egg noodles are cooked, stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Noodles - Egg Noodles will continue to cook in the hot soup. If you prefer noodles that are not as soft, you can also cook them separately on the stove (following package directions) and ladle into individual bowls of soup. This is also my recommendation if you're storing leftovers.
Stovetop Variation - This soup can also be made on the stovetop in a large pot. See the Variations section above in the blog post for the how-to.
