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)
You shouldn’t only cook chicken soup in the crockpot when you’re not feeling well! We make this all the time.
Comfort food is the best! I love this easy slow cooker chicken soup recipe because you only need a few fresh ingredients and it’s good for you. 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
- Chicken breasts
- 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)
- Egg noodles – bagged or this is how to make homemade egg noodles
- 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.
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.
Whether you’re feeling under the weather, or you are looking for an easy crockpot chicken soup recipe to make we hope you enjoy ours and make it again and again!
It’s basically the perfect comfort food cooked all day in your slow cooker (very little effort on your part which is my kinda’ meal)!
This is why I love crockpot chicken noodle soup
- Uses natural ingredients
- You can add tons of seasonal ingredients (load it up)
- Very minimal ingredients required
- It’s quick, with easy steps to follow
- FAST prep time
- All 5 of us love it
- It’s super healthy and full of flavor

Could i cook for 9 hours? I leave at 745am and get home at 445pm. I wouldn’t want it to get mushy or over cooked if that’s a thing.
Beth Pierce says
Hubby and I loved this! Thanks for the great recipe!
The Typical Mom says
So glad!
Joy Deates says
I made this tonight! My first time making a soup. It was delicious! And so easy!! I forgot parsley so I cut up some of the celery leaves. They added a little bit more flavor. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
The Typical Mom says
OH good!!
Sommer says
This is just one giant pot of comfort! Thanks for the fabulous recipe.
Belinda says
Can the chicken be frozen when I put it in?
The Typical Mom says
I haven’t done it that way yet.
Denise says
Trying this tonight looks great and do easy. I use organic chicken as well. Nothing better
The Typical Mom says
Awesome!!
Lindsay says
How much is a serving size?
Evelyn says
Can I cook this on high? I want to make it today.
The Typical Mom says
Yes, I would say 4 hours would be sufficient. Of course check chicken before eating but that should work.
Janelle says
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
kara cargill says
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!
Kaylie says
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!
abcya says
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!
Cassandra says
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!
Brooke says
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..
The Typical Mom says
Yeah!! It’s one of our faves.
Sarah says
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.
Kim says
If I wanted to add rice how would I do that just add dry rice to the soup as it cooks?
The Typical Mom says
I haven’t done that so I don’t know how long rice would take to cook in a crockpot.
Holly says
How long do you normally have to cook the noodles?
Robyn says
Also wondering about this.
cor says
Are the noodles already cooked when you add them in?
The Typical Mom says
No
Driving Directions says
Awesome, thanks for sharing the recipe, I will try to make this soup rely on your introduction
Rita herald says

The Typical Mom says
It’s amazing
Amanda says
Hi! Can I add some garlic and salt and pepper to mine? This seems so easy, I am going to try tomorrow!
The Typical Mom says
Of course! It is amazing. We didn’t need salt but add what you like. 😉
megunprocessed says
That sounds so flavorful!
Serena says
Love that you made this classic in the crock pot! YUM!
Lane & Holly @ With Two Spoons says
Slow cooker meals are the best! Simple and delicious!
Kim Lee says
Looks so comforting and delicious! Pinned!
The Typical Mom says
Thanks
janelynn says
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.
The Typical Mom says
We use low sodium and of course homemade is wonderful but this is a great quick version for those without much time.
Sharon says
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.
