Chicken Noodle Soup – Crockpot

Place all ingredients (except noodles) in the crockpot and put the lid on. Set on high and cook for 4 hours or set on low and cook for 8 hours.

When done, use two forks and shred the chicken. Taste the soup. If using low sodium chicken broth, you may need to add a chicken bouillon cube for extra flavor. This soup you can cook for up to 10 hours. Remove bay leaves before serving.

In a separate pot, cook the noodles according to the package directions. When done, drain them.

Place a few noodles into serving bowls and ladle soup over top.

Note: You can add the noodles directly into the soup. However, if you plan on having leftovers, I like to keep the noodles separate from the soup. Otherwise the noodles expand and absorb the soup. Just add a little olive oil to the leftover noodles to prevent the noodles from sticking.
