Cozy up to a bowl of this hearty Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup! So easy to make, everything goes right into the slow cooker, no need to cook anything ahead of time. An easy, filling and satisfying meal that’s ready when you come home!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 – 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 chicken boullion cube
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water (or liquid from the soup)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 5 ounces of egg noodles (about 2 heaping cups)
Instructions
- Add the diced onions, celery and carrots to a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Place the chicken breasts on top and season with the salt, oregano, garlic powder and pepper, bay leaves and bouillon cube. Pour in the chicken broth, cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours.
- Remove the chicken breasts to a board and shred or dice into cubes with a knife.
- Mix the cornstarch together with the water or liquid from the slow cooker and then pour into the soup while whisking.
- Add the chicken back to the slow cooker along with the noodles, stir and cover. Cook for 15 minutes until the noodles are tender and the soup has thickened. Taste for seasonings and adjust if needed. The soup will thicken as it sits, but if you want a thicker broth you can add more cornstarch and water and cook another 15 minutes. Alternately: you can cook the noodles separately and then add them to your bowl with the soup ladled on top. This way the noodles won’t soak up all the broth after being refrigerated.
Recipe Notes
Store: Let the soup cool and then transfer to an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Reheat the soup on the stove top or in the microwave until warmed through. If the soup is too thick you can add a little chicken broth to thin it out.
