Slow Cooker Chicken Soup

This Slow Cooker Chicken Soup has become my go-to recipe when I need classic comfort food that practically makes itself. Simply toss everything except the noodles into your crockpot, set it, and forget it!

Notes

Slow Cooker Size: 4-quart
Noodle Options: You can use a variety of noodles in this recipe. I like to use rice ramen noodles. They have a chewier texture and help give this soup a classic Campbell's chicken noodle soup flavor. Other noodles you can include include fettuccine and egg noodles.
More Veggies: If you want to add more veggies to your soup then you can use a white or yellow onion and spinach or kale. You can also swap the russet potatoes out for sweet potatoes.
Homemade Seasoning: You can make your own Italian seasoning at home by combining ¼ tablespoon of dried basil, dried oregano, dried rosemary, dried thyme, along with a teaspoon of garlic powder and onion powder.
Chicken Options: This recipe also works with chicken thighs. You can also grab a rotisserie chicken and use shredded chicken. If you’re using fully cooked chicken then you can just add it at the end along with the noodles.
Storage & Reheating: You can store your chicken soup in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat a bowl of soup in the microwave covered with a paper towel or paper plate. Start with 45 seconds, stir the soup, and then continue with 30 seconds at a time until the soup is warm.
