Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium yellow onion Diced for flavor and texture.
  • 4 medium carrots Sliced into rounds or half moons for sweetness.
  • 4 stalks celery Sliced to add crunch and aroma.
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced to enhance depth of flavor.
  • 8 cups chicken stock or broth Low sodium preferred for a healthier option.
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 lbs (or chicken thighs) for protein-rich goodness.
  • 2 dried bay leaves To infuse the soup with herbal notes.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme Or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme for added fragrance.
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary Or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped) to elevate the taste profile.
  • Salt and pepper To season to your preference.
  • 8 ounces egg noodles For a comforting texture that completes the soup.
  • 1/2 lemon Juiced to brighten up the flavors.
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley Finely chopped for garnish and freshness.

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare Ingredients - Start by dicing the onion, slicing the carrots and celery, and mincing the garlic. Gather all your ingredients so everything is at hand when you start cooking.
  2. Step 2: Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker - In a large slow cooker, add all ingredients except for the fresh parsley, lemon juice, and egg noodles. Season generously with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  3. Step 3: Cook on Low Heat - Set your slow cooker on low heat and cook for 6-8 hours. This allows the chicken to become tender while allowing the vegetables to soften perfectly.
  4. Step 4: Shred Chicken and Add Noodles - Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the pot along with the egg noodles; stir well until they are submerged in broth.
  5. Step 5: Finish Cooking Noodles - Cover the slow cooker again and let it cook on low for another 5-10 minutes until the noodles are just tender. Alternatively, cook the noodles separately if you prefer them al dente.
  6. Step 6: Add Final Touches - Once everything is cooked through, stir in freshly squeezed lemon juice and chopped parsley right before serving for a burst of flavor and freshness. Enjoy this comforting bowl of goodness!
