This chicken soup in the crockpot recipe is the best! If you’re looking for a healthy and easy slow cooker soup this one takes just 10 minutes to prepare and It tastes amazing!! One of our favorite ways to make homemade chicken noodle soup.
I admit I am a bit obsessed with my slow cooker. Give me anything and I will find a way to cook it in there because it makes my life so easy! You’ve got to try this chicken soup in the crockpot I made when my middle daughter wasn’t feeling so hot and since then it has become one of our favorite crockpot meals, especially when it’s chilly outside. It is not only super tasty but it is also a healthy crockpot meal that’s inexpensive to make, triple win for us! Here’s how you make one of our favorite crockpot recipes. Special thanks to Foster Farms for sponsoring this post so we could share this recipe with you. (originally published 10/16)
Not that you can only cook chicken noodle soup when you aren’t feeling well, but it kinda’ comes to mind when seasons change and the sniffles hit your (and our) house right??!!
Comfort food is the best! I love this easy crockpot chicken soup recipe because you only need a few fresh ingredients, it’s good for you, and it only takes about 10 minutes to prep in your slow cooker or even faster in your Instant Pot!
What you need to make this easy chicken soup in the crockpot
- Foster Farms Simply Raised chicken breasts (locally grown in CA. and the Pacific Northwest – 3 is enough)
- 3 large carrots (I used a few more because organic varieties tend to be a bit smaller)
- 3 stalks of celery
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 2 containers of chicken broth (or stock)
- You’re ready!
Literally this crockpot soup is so easy to make. Just chop the celery, onions, and carrots into small pieces like these. Lay your chicken breasts on the bottom and put your veggies on top. If you strive to make good for you meals at your house and eat organic foods this is a great recipe to try. Foster Farms Simply Raised varieties of chicken contain NO antibiotics, are free of additives, preservatives and hormones…makes for a great taste to this comfort soup!
You can lightly season it as well with some salt and pepper but honestly I don’t add any salt, the sodium in the broth is plenty and it tastes amazing as is with just these fresh ingredients.
Add your chicken broth and let your crockpot do the work for you all day! It cooks while you are away and just takes 10 minutes once you get back to gently shred the chicken inside the crockpot (it will literally fall apart after 6 hrs, no need to take it out and cut it), add your noodles, and a bit of parsley is you desire.
Here is the entire chicken soup in the crockpot recipe you can print out.

Can the chicken be frozen when I put it in?
I haven’t done it that way yet.
Trying this tonight looks great and do easy. I use organic chicken as well. Nothing better
Awesome!!
How much is a serving size?
Can I cook this on high? I want to make it today.
Yes, I would say 4 hours would be sufficient. Of course check chicken before eating but that should work.
Made this today and This soup was not only easy but it came out amazing! I used low sodium chicken broth and the veggies, I will make it again. Highly recommend
I just made this tonight. I tweaked it. I did 1/2 teaspoons of: pepper, thyme, poultry seasoning, basil and 2 chicken bouillon cubes(I may do one next time) I also did chicken thighs since I had them on hand. I loved it. I did it 8 hours in the crock pot. This will be how I make chicken noodle soup from now on. Thanks for the recipe!
About how long does it take for the noodles to cook once you put them in? Just trying to plan out the day, this will be nice to come home to after Christmas eve festivities!
Another way to make a familiar dish. I think it will be very attractive. I will do it for my family’s dinner. Thanks for your guidance a lot!
Okay so I’ve never made any soup before…except from a can. This was easy even and turned out great! Tons of flavour and was perfect on a crappy, rainy day!
I made this tonight ! IT came out so DELISH. I just added bullion cubes to kick up some more flavor . I cooked it for 8 hours. Were having leftovers for sure tomorrow. Thank you for Sharing..
Yeah!! It’s one of our faves.
Better to season with sea salt and pepper and any other spices you’d like as bullion cubes are mostly salt, and I mean A LOT. Read the box and you’ll never use bullion cubes again.
If I wanted to add rice how would I do that just add dry rice to the soup as it cooks?
I haven’t done that so I don’t know how long rice would take to cook in a crockpot.
How long do you normally have to cook the noodles?
Also wondering about this.
Are the noodles already cooked when you add them in?
No
Awesome, thanks for sharing the recipe, I will try to make this soup rely on your introduction
This sounds soooo good so will make it tomorrow Thanks
It’s amazing
Hi! Can I add some garlic and salt and pepper to mine? This seems so easy, I am going to try tomorrow!
Of course! It is amazing. We didn’t need salt but add what you like. 😉
That sounds so flavorful!
Love that you made this classic in the crock pot! YUM!
Slow cooker meals are the best! Simple and delicious!
Looks so comforting and delicious! Pinned!
Thanks
So–you praise the organically-grown chicken yet use sodium-laden broth. The best homemade soup is to cook the whole chicken b/c the flavor is in the bones and dark meat. No new recipe can compare with what our grammas taught us.
We use low sodium and of course homemade is wonderful but this is a great quick version for those without much time.
I love slow cooker meals that are so easy and quick. I am bookmarking this recipe for days when I don’t have to time to cook.
