How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup:

I’m sure we all have those go-to chicken noodle soup recipes in our dinner line-ups, but I promise you won’t be disappointed by this fresh tasting take on a classic!

I used lots of fresh carrots and celery plus my favorite dried herbs to give it that rich delicious flavor. Then I added plenty of citrus to give it a totally new take! Add plenty of chicken that becomes fall apart tender and finish it all off with the most import part of any chicken noodle soup…noodles! It’s finally time for those hearty family dinners we all crave!

I love making extras when making chicken noodle soup to freeze and keep on hand in case we get sick. Nothing is better than chicken noodle soup when you have a cold.

To make it easy, I use these Souper Cubes to portion and freeze my leftovers! Then it’s easy to pop a cube or two in the microwave for a quick lunch or dinner.
