Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 cup egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place chicken in the slow cooker.
  2. Add olive oil, onion, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker.
  3. Pour in chicken broth.
  4. Stir in dried parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred it.
  7. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  8. Increase heat to high if needed. Stir in egg noodles and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, you can thicken it with a cornstarch slurry (2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • This soup freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring to airtight containers or freezer bags. Add noodles when reheating.
  • For a low-sodium option, use no-salt-added chicken broth and adjust salt to your preference.
  • Rotisserie chicken can be used as a shortcut. Shred the meat and add it during the last hour of cooking.
