Think Betty Crocker’s crock pot chicken noodle soup, stepped up a notch.

How to Make Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup

This is a “dump and go” crock pot recipe, meaning that you essentially toss all the raw ingredients (chicken and vegetables) into your slow cooker without any advance prep like sautéing required. It’s fairly fast and yields a generous portion so you can enjoy it all week long.

The Ingredients

Chicken. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which are nutritious and crowd-pleasing. Carrots and Celery. I hate buying a whole pouch of celery just to use a few stalks, but the soup wouldn’t be complete without it. Use the extra for snacking or in many of these healthy soup recipes or this Healthy Chicken Pot Pie.Onion. PRO TIP ALERT. Instead of using diced raw onion—which I find overpowers crock pot recipes unless it is sautéed first—I put in 1 whole, peeled onion that I remove at the end of the cook time. It imparts the onion flavor, but it’s not nearly as off-putting as when raw onion is used. It also saves you the step of sautéing the onion first.Fresh Rosemary. Perfumes the stock and imparts additional flavor.

Whole Wheat Pasta Noodles. I made this easy crockpot chicken noodle soup with egg noodles. To keep things healthy, I opted for whole grain egg noodles.

Chicken Stock. I recommend using chicken stock instead of broth in this recipe. Stock has a slightly fuller flavor, and I even think the texture is a little richer.
