Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 8 cups (2 L) chicken broth
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups (120 g) egg noodles (or your favorite pasta)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for added brightness)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Add Ingredients to the Crockpot:

  • Place the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring everything is submerged.

2. Cook the Soup:

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

3. Shred the Chicken:

  • Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Discard the bay leaf.

4. Cook the Noodles:

  • Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot. Stir in the egg noodles and cook on HIGH for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

5. Adjust and Serve:

  • Stir in the lemon juice (if using) for a bright, fresh flavor. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer soup, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • Substitute egg noodles with gluten-free pasta or rice for a gluten-free option.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • If freezing, omit the noodles and add them fresh when reheating.
