This Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup is an easy dinner to have waiting for you at the end of the day. Chicken thighs, vegetables, egg noodles, and a savory broth come together in the slow cooker for a comforting, filling bowl of soup with very little hands-on prep.
Add all the ingredients to your slow cooker except for the noodles, salt & pepper, and parsley.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Take the chicken out and cut it up or shred it with two forks. Add the cut-up chicken back in, along with the egg noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender (I put the slow cooker on high), about 15 minutes or so.
Remove and discard the bay leaves. Season the soup with salt & pepper as needed (I added a fair bit of salt). Serve with fresh parsley sprinkled over top (add about a tablespoon or more… eyeballing it is fine).
