A comforting and easy Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup featuring tender shredded chicken, fresh vegetables, and fusilli noodles simmered in a flavorful broth. Perfect for a cozy meal with minimal hands-on time.

Ingredients

Soup Base

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 small yellow onion, peeled and diced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced or cut into coins
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 large garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 cups chicken broth

Noodles

  • 6 ounces fusilli noodles

Garnish

  • Fresh chopped parsley, optional for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients in slow cooker: Add the chicken breasts, diced onion, carrots, celery, minced garlic, rosemary sprigs, bay leaf, kosher salt, and black pepper into the crockpot. Pour the chicken broth over everything and gently stir to mix the flavors.
  2. Cook the soup: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high heat for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
  3. Shred the chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them finely using two forks. Discard the bay leaf and rosemary sprigs from the broth.
  4. Cook noodles separately: Boil the fusilli noodles on the stovetop following the package instructions. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside to prevent them from absorbing too much soup broth.
  5. Combine shredded chicken and noodles: Return the shredded chicken and cooked noodles back to the crockpot. Stir well to combine all ingredients and let the soup cook for an additional 5 minutes to warm through evenly.
  6. Serve and garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy a hearty, homemade classic.

Notes

  • Cooking noodles separately prevents them from becoming mushy and soaking up too much broth.
  • Adjust salt and pepper seasoning according to taste before serving.
  • Fresh rosemary adds aromatic flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free version.
