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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

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 LEMONY CHICKEN SOUP



Slow-Cooker Lemony Chicken Soup image

This lemony, herbal take on chicken soup highlights produce, but the basic technique is useful any time you want chicken soup with minimum effort. Slow-cooking chicken in stock creates a richly flavored, double-concentrated stock. Homemade stock is ideal, but you can also use your favorite store-bought stock. Stock concentrate paste like Better Than Bouillon is particularly good because it is natural-tasting, cost-effective and keeps in the fridge for a very long time. (Check the jar for how to reconstitute the paste. For this soup, no need to use boiling water; tap water works fine.) This recipe is flexible: If peas and asparagus aren't available, substitute two cups of quick-cooking vegetables, like fresh or frozen corn, baby spinach or arugula, or thinly sliced zucchini. Instead of tortellini, you can add an equivalent amount of cooked pasta or grains.

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, main course

Time 7h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cups chicken stock or broth
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise then thinly sliced crosswise (about 2 cups)
2 carrots, sliced about 1/2-inch thick
2 celery stalks, sliced about 1/2-inch thick
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Black pepper and kosher salt
1 lemon, juiced (2 to 3 tablespoons)
1 cup sliced asparagus (about 12 ounces, trimmed and sliced 1/2-inch thick)
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
9 ounces refrigerated spinach-cheese tortellini (optional; see Tip)
1/2 cup chopped soft fresh herbs, such as dill, mint, tarragon, parsley, chives or a mixture

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the stock, chicken, leeks, carrots, celery, garlic, red-pepper flakes, onion powder and several generous grinds of black pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt if using salted stock, 1 teaspoon kosher salt if using low-sodium stock or 2 teaspoons kosher salt if using unsalted stock. Cover and cook on low until the chicken and vegetables are very tender, about 7 hours.
  • Increase the heat to high. Using two forks, tear apart the chicken into bite-size pieces. Add the lemon juice, asparagus, peas and tortellini, if using, to the soup. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender to crisp-tender, and the tortellini is cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the herbs; season to taste with salt and pepper.

  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use homemade broth or a store-bought broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, look for one that is low in sodium.
  • Season to taste: Once your soup is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: Chicken soup is often served with a side of bread or crackers. This helps to soak up the broth and add some extra flavor to the meal.
