This crockpot chicken noodle recipe is one of those classic dishes that never goes out of style. It’s perfect for chilly nights, sick days, or any time I want a set-it-and-forget-it meal (which, let’s be real, is pretty much all the time!). I use dried herbs for maximum flavor with minimal effort, and then the veggies and noodles soak up all the deliciousness as they cook. I’ve also included options for cooking on low or high heat, so you can choose whichever works best for your schedule.
What’s in This Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe?
This recipe is one of the few that breaks my ‘no more than 10 ingredients’ rule, but it’s totally worth it! And while there are a few more ingredients than usual, it’s all stuff you likely already have in your pantry or fridge.
Chicken: I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe because they shred easily. You can also use boneless chicken thighs if that’s what you have on hand. Seasonings: Sea salt, ground black pepper, and poultry seasoning season the chicken, while dried parsley, thyme, basil, and bay leaves add flavor to the broth. Veggies: Classic chicken noodle soup wouldn’t be complete without carrots, celery, and onion. These veggies add a nice pop of color and texture to the recipe. Garlic: Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor. Chicken Broth: Feel free to use a homemade chicken broth or your favorite store-bought version. Egg Noodles: Use wide egg noodles for the classic chicken noodle soup experience, or swap in your favorite type of fresh pasta. Fresh Parsley: This is optional, but a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley adds a little freshness to the soup.
How to Store and Reheat
This crockpot chicken noodle soup stores well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When reheating on the stovetop, I usually add a little extra chicken broth to loosen it up (the noodles will continue to absorb liquid as they sit).
How to Freeze
I wouldn’t freeze this recipe with the noodles already added, as they can become mushy when thawed and reheated. Instead, freeze the soup without noodles and add them in fresh when you’re ready to enjoy it again. This way, your chicken noodle soup will taste just as delicious as the first time around! Frozen crockpot chicken noodle soup will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes and Tips
This is a great clean-out-your-fridge recipe! You can add any vegetables or herbs that you have in your kitchen. Don’t stir the noodles too much as they cook; they’ll only fall apart and become mushy. I usually stir them when I first add them in and then once again halfway through the cooking time. This recipe is great for making ahead and keeping on the ‘warm’ setting for serving at a party or gathering. However, I would wait to add the noodles until right before serving, as they can get too soft if left in the slow cooker for too long. A fully cooked rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe! Just shred the meat and add it in once the noodles are done cooking.
