I love a comforting bowl of crockpot chicken noodle soup on a chilli day. Made with low sodium chicken broth, mix of “Holy Trinity” veggies and protein-rich chicken, this soup is hearty and healthy.

Notes

You can leftover rotisserie chicken or roasted chicken as well in place of fresh chicken.
To make this soup even more flavorful, You could lightly sear the chicken breasts before adding them to the crockpot, use homemade chicken broth, or add cheese rinds to the broth (be sure to remove them when you remove the bay leaves).
You could add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of heavy cream before serving.
If you love creamy soup, simply add 1/2 cup of heavy cream at the end of cooking.
For spiciness feel free to add red chili flakes, cayenne pepper or chipotle.
To make this into chicken and rice soup, follow the recipe and instead of egg noodles add 1 cup of dry white rice with the chicken. Cook until the rice is cooked through.
Use gluten-free pasta if you want to make it gluten-free chicken noodle soup.
