Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup (2 Points)

featured 10713

I’ve been making this Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup for years, and after my family came down with sore throats and colds recently I made a fresh batch and knew I had to share the recipe. This version is simple, comforting, and full of clean, clear flavor. It’s easy to prep, cooks hands-off in a slow cooker, and finishes with tender chicken and perfectly cooked egg noodles. I usually keep it light by using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you can easily swap in thighs or a mix of breasts and drumsticks if you prefer darker meat. A good-quality egg noodle really lifts the final texture, so choose a fresh or high-quality dry egg noodle when possible.

This soup is ideal when you want something nourishing without fuss. It’s satisfying, warming, and versatile — perfect for sick days, quick family dinners, or when you need a batch to refrigerate or freeze. Below you’ll find a clear ingredient list and step-by-step instructions that will give you a flavorful, homey chicken noodle soup with minimum effort.
