A warm, comforting, and creamy chicken noodle soup made effortlessly in a crockpot, perfect for cold days and busy schedules.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds / 700g)
  • 4 cups (32 fl oz / 950ml) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced thin
  • 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 ounces (170g) wide egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice carrots and celery thinly. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic (about 10 minutes prep).
  2. Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Scatter carrots, celery, onion, and garlic over the top. Pour in chicken broth. Sprinkle salt, pepper, thyme, and basil.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Remove chicken breasts and shred with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crockpot.
  5. Add chunks of softened cream cheese to the crockpot. Stir until melted and fully combined, creating a creamy texture. Add a splash of broth or water if too thick.
  6. Cook egg noodles separately according to package instructions until al dente (5-7 minutes). Drain well.
  7. Stir cooked noodles into the crockpot just before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add chopped fresh parsley for freshness.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before adding to avoid clumps. Cook noodles separately to maintain texture. Adjust seasoning before serving. For gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles or spiralized zucchini. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with plant-based alternative.
