Calories: 290kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken breasts
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 large white onion diced
- 4 large carrots sliced
- 1 cup celery diced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 bay leaves
- 12 ounces dry egg noodles or 1 batch of Homemade Egg Noodles*
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Into a slow cooker, add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, onion, carrots, celery, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and bay leaves.
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Once the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees, remove it from the slow cooker and allow to cool for a few minutes before dicing.
- Return the diced chicken to the slow cooker, then add the dry noodles and continue to cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Once the soup has finished cooking, stir in the fresh lemon juice. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerator: store leftover chicken soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days if the noodles are already mixed in, or up to 5 days if the noodles are cooked and stored separately.
- Freezer: store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Note that it’s best to freeze the leftover soup without the noodles as they will become rather mushy once they thaw and reheat.
- To reheat: add soup to a saucepan and warm over medium heat, occasionally stirring, until warmed through. Add extra noodles and a splash of lemon juice as desired.
- If you use fresh Homemade Egg Noodles, they may only need about 10-15 minutes to cook.
