Can someone crock pot recipes for chicken noodle soup?!
Answers: It would have to be one that can cook on low all day while I am at work. I know that the noodles can't be put in until the last half hour or so. The ones I have found on the Internet are only for 4-5 hours. This has to be a 8 hour recipe.
Here's a good one :
8 cups water or canned chicken broth
4 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
4 medium celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 onion, chopped
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
4 teaspoons salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 (3 1/2 lb) roasting chickens
3 cups egg noodles, uncooked
In 4-1/2 to 6-quart slow-cooker bowl, combine water, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, thyme, 4 t salt, 1/2 t pepper.
Place whole chicken on top of vegetables.
Cover slow cooker with lid and cook as manufacturer directs on low setting 8 to 10 hours or on high 4-5 hours.
Transfer chicken to cutting board. Discard bay leaves. Add noodles to slow-cooker; cover with lid and cook (on low or high) 20 minutes.
While noodles cook, remove and discard skin, fat and bones from chicken; shred meat.
Skim fat from soup and discard. Return chicken to soup to serve.
CROCK POT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
1 whole chicken (2 1/2-3 1/2 lbs.)
3-4 cans Swanson chicken broth
1 (8 oz.) pkg. frozen mixed vegetables (corn, zucchini, carrots)
1 (8 oz.) pkg. lg. egg noodles, cooked
Salt and pepper to taste
Turn crock pot to high position. Wash whole chicken and clean out insides. (No need to keep innards). Place whole chicken in crock pot, cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or until chicken falls off bones. Remove chicken, let it cool.
While chicken is cooling, put 3-4 cans of chicken broth into the crock pot and change temperature to low. Next de-bone entire chicken and put into crock pot with broth. Add frozen vegetables and spices and cook on low for 1 hour. During that time, cook egg noodles according to package directions. When the noodles are done, add them to the crock pot and season to taste. Cook 1/2 hour longer.
CROCK POT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
2 large chicken breast, frozen
8 slices center cut bacon, chopped
3 medium potatoes, cubed
1 pepper (personal preference for spice)
1 can corn
1 can cut green beans
1 cup finely cut chives
1 cup sliced mushrooms
12 oz. egg noodles
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt (season to taste)
64 oz. water
Excluding the egg noodles, put all ingredients into the crock pot, including the juices in the canned vegetables. Do not worry about cutting the frozen chicken breast at this time. Cook on high for 4. 5 hours. Using a wooden spoon, chop the chicken breast into bite size pieces.
Add egg noodles and continue cooking for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour. Suggest serving with salad and garlic toast. Makes approx. 6 servings
