Ingredient Notes For This Easy Chicken Noodle Soup:
- Pasta – The No Yolk Pasta I use is great for this recipe. If you can’t find it, no worries, just get something similar is shape and texture.
- Add the whole bag of pasta for a more filling soup. Add a bit less, if you want more of a liquid to pasta ratio.
- Cook Time – I cooked the soup for 3 1/2 hours on high heat, shredded the chicken, added the chicken back to the slow cooker along with the pasta and cooked for 20 more mins.
- If cooking on low heat, you will need to cook the pasta for an additional 10+ minutes or so.

I make chicken noodle soup quite often throughout the year, but never in a slow cooker. I’m eager to try this way of making it! Soup is certainly timely in Minnesota now too! Mounds of snow all over town so high one can’t see cars coming from an intersection. And more is forecast this week-end! Thanks again for the colorful photos that create a desire to try your recipes!
Oh yes, the slow cooker is a life saver! I love making soups that way.
And that is WAY too much snow for me! 😉 Stay safe.
Trying this one! Anything in a crock pot works for me. Hard to watch a pot on the stove with two little ones! 🙂 It’s almost summer in TN, unfortunately (Yes, in March!). We didn’t even get a snow dusting this year! I miss it, so I’m a bit jealous, Pat Windel. Thanks for the recipe, Naomi!!!
Yay, you’ll have to let me know what you think of it Connie. It’s a fave in this house.
And I know you are jealous of our Colorado winter weather, but I’m a bit jealous of your weather too. I could probably have warm/hot weather all the time and be happy. 😉 (Thanks for the comment love, friend)!
I made this a few weekends ago when it was cold and snowy, and it was so good! I don’t have a slow cooker so I used my Dutch oven instead, and it cooked in about 30 minutes. I also replaced the No Yolks pasta noodles with gluten free pasta noodles and it was delicious! Homemade chicken noodle soup is always a winner during winter!

Using your Dutch oven is a great alternative to the slow cooker. Love it! And gluten-free pasta is always good too. I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe so much. We make it all the time in the winter and spring. 🙂
