When I was young, my mother would make a homemade chicken noodle soup that not only warmed my body, but warmed my soul. I think the book title “Chicken Noodle Soup for the Soul” was inspired by my mom. She would add the whole chicken to the soup and allow it to shred and steep into the flavored chicken stock. She would also add cream of mushroom soup for a wonderful creamy consistency.
Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients
This recipe only requires a certain number of ingredients that truly make it special!
- Boneless Chicken Breasts
- Onions, Celery and Carrots
- Garlic
- Turmeric
- Chicken Broth
- Chicken Bouillon
- Egg Noodles
I use boneless chicken breasts but you can use chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat. It is totally up to you.
Onions, celery and carrots are the veggies that you find as the base as most chicken soups.
I also add garlic for additional flavor and also because garlic is wonderful for curing colds and illnesses. It has been an old school remedy for centuries. It helps to rev up your immune system so you can fight off colds or even stop them from starting in the first place. I use turmeric in this recipe for the same reason, it is also a wonderful remedy for helping you stay healthy and it adds a wonderful color to your soup!
Chicken broth will be the liquid base but I add more flavor by including bouillon cubes as well. It intensifies the chicken flavor even more.
Finally I add the egg noodles because no chicken noodle soup is complete without them.
How To Make Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
This recipe is quite simple because it really just requires you dumping lots of ingredients into your slow cooker.
The real ease is in the chicken breast preparation. You add it to the crockpot and allow it to get super tender. Once it is completely cooked and the soup is almost ready, you will simply pull it apart like you do for a Mississippi Pot Roast. It will mix in with all of the broth and become even more delicious.
This slow cooker chicken noodle soup has all of the elements that make a chicken noodle soup soul warming. So this fall when you feel sickness coming on (or even if you don’t) make sure you make a pot of this slow cooker chicken noodle soup — one the best slow cooker chicken recipes out there!

Jocelyn, this looks SO cozy and comforting–and what a great memory you have with homemade chicken soup. I hope you managed to evade the sickness last week!
The addition of turmeric. Or is it tumeric? I always confuse myself, even if I look back at the recipe I won’t remember. Anyhow, it is super brilliant. Both intelligence-wise and color-wise. 🙂
Hope you feel better, friend! This soup is sure what the doctor ordered. I’m marking it to try soon! XO
Thanks hon!
Jocelyn it’s no wonder you’re getting run down. How about the fact that you’ve been running around like a chicken without a head?!!! Oops, maybe not a good pun here 🙁 Love that you added turmeric. Will have to do the same next time I get some chicken soup on. XOXO
Hahaha I LOVE that pun. I totally have been. I need to keep bowls of soup at all times haha.
This soup is perfection! I love that you added turmeric. Just gorgeous! My husband makes homemade chicken soup, starting with water and a chicken carcass. Then he adds veggies, meat, and herbs/spices, and big hunks of chicken plus matzoh balls. It’s pure comfort! Hope you feel better real soon, boo.
Oh I love matzoh ball soup! It is so so comforting!
How hearty!
YES!
There’s nothing more satisfying than a hot bowl of noodle soup when it’s cold. I love this slow cooker version and how wonderful it will be when I walk into the house after work.
Oh yes! That is one of the best parts!
