Not many crockpots speak a season but chicken noodle soup does. It has cold weather written all over it. Chicken noodle soup to me is ALL ABOUT THE BROTH! Sorry to yell at your eyes but it’s true. Too little broth, too much broth, too salty, not salty enough… ok you get the point. There is a secret to your broth turning out just right…
Here’s the big secret… COOK YOUR NOODLES SEPARATE! This keeps your soup actually having a good amount of broth and keeps your noodles from turning mushy.
Cooking your noodles, then adding them to the crockpot and letting them sit in the crockpot with the soup for about 15 minutes makes this the best recipe! Also, if you HATE shredding chicken like me? Place cooked chicken breasts in kitchen aid turn on for only 10 seconds and BAM shredded chicken!
Pair this soup with my homemade French bread to make it that much more delicious. I mean can you go wrong with homemade soup and bread? Click here for my French bread recipe.
