Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3-4 c cooked, cubed chicken (i use any left over chicken from my blue moon crock pot roasted chicken)
4 c chicken broth, homemade/canned will do (again, i use the broth from the same recipe above bmcprc)
3 c water
6 large carrots, cubed
4 stalk(s) celery, chopped (large pieces)
3 small onions, quartered
1 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
1-2 tsp chicken base, optional if needed. when using homemade chicken stock, base isn't usually needed
fresh cracked pepper to taste
12 oz egg noodles, uncooked

Steps:

  • 1. In a large crock pot, add chicken broth. I like to use leftover broth from the Blue Moon Crock Pot Roasted Chicken, it's nice and rich in color and already seasoned. Warm chicken broth over medium heat.
  • 2. When broth has warmed, add water, vegetables, cubed chicken, seasonings, and chicken base if needed. Bring to a gentle boil for 5 minutes, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
  • 3. Add 12 ounces egg noodles, stir in. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes, noodles will be just about done. Remove from heat & allow to sit for 5 minutes. This allows the noodles to complete cooking. Be careful not to over cook, as noodles continue to soak in the juices & can get mushy. Serve with crackers, or fresh bread. This soup freezes well for later use.

I've also made this soup with rice instead of noodles. It's just as delicious, and it's a great way to change things up.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and I love to use them to make this soup.

I've made this soup in my slow cooker and on the stovetop. I prefer to make it in the slow cooker because it's so easy. I just throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner is ready when I get home from work.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the noodles and the chicken, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I love that this soup is so versatile. I can add or remove ingredients to suit my own taste. For example, I sometimes add vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I often make a big batch on the weekend and then freeze it in individual containers. Then I can just heat up a container whenever I want a quick and easy meal.

I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper to this soup to give it a little bit of a kick.

I've made this soup with both white and dark meat chicken. I prefer the dark meat chicken because it makes the soup more flavorful.
