Chicken and Noodle Soup Crock Pot Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this 5 ingredient crockpot chicken noodle soup recipe:

• Fresh Mirepoix: most grocery stores have a freshly prepared section near the other fresh produce. In this section, you will find prepared mirepoix including onion, celery, and carrots. You can substitute purchasing these ingredients separately and preparing yourself if you are unable to find the prepared option.
• Bone-in-Skin-on Chicken Thighs: using bone-in and skin-on thighs will infuse your soup broth with the most flavor. At the end of cooking you will remove your thighs and discard the bones and skin before adding the chicken back into the soup. Be sure to cut off any fat and excessive skin before adding to the soup.
• Cream of Chicken Soup: is combined with water per the can instructions. Use chicken broth in place of water to increase the flavors even more!
• Herbs de Provence: a classic Italian seasoning blend can be used in place of this herb blend. Both are very similar in flavor profile and work well in this soup.
• Uncooked Egg Noodles: you will add the noodles once your chicken is cooked and shredded and added back into the soup. The noodles cook quickly in about 12-15 minutes and then serve immediately.
• Optional: salt and ground black pepper to taste; fresh chopped parsley for garnish.

Substitutions and Variations

• If your grocery store does not have chopped prepared mirepoix mix--you can use separated prepared ingredients such as onion, carrots, and celery. You can also purchase and chop them yourself; you will need 2 large carrots peeled and sliced, 2 stalks of celery chopped, and 1 medium onion chopped.
• Increase flavor by sauteeing your mirepoix in a skillet on medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until the onions are caramelized and tender.
• Add in a little squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness, acidity, and tang.
• Use a 20-ounce bag of frozen chopped seasoning blend vegetables and herb mix in place of fresh vegetables if preferred.
• Use any type of pasta in place of the egg noodles. I have used ditalini, alphabet, macaroni, and rotini.
• Make it vegetarian by replacing the chicken with white beans, cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken, and add water per the can instructions.
• Add other vegetables at the end with noodles so they don't overcook. Some ideas are green beans, peas, or corn.
• Add fresh minced garlic for extra flavor.
• Use frozen chicken thighs- this will give you extra time to be away from home while it cooks.
