A Cozy Crock-Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
Nothing beats a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup on a cold day, does it? Especially if it can be cooked with minimal effort! This Crock-Pot chicken noodle soup recipe is the perfect meal to warm up a crowd on a winter day.
This recipe is delectable with some freshly baked bread (like a sourdough baguette) and a fresh, crispy garden salad with some Italian dressing. It's an easy lunch meal if you're looking to serve a lot of people. But instead of buying the soup, salad, and breadsticks lunch deal over at Olive Garden, you can have an easy (and healthy) version of it right at home.
Don't have chicken stock? Use chicken bouillon.
If you don't have cartons of chicken broth, you can make your own by using cubes of chicken bouillon instead. For most brands, 1 cube with 1 cup of hot water will make 1 cup of broth. However, some brands are different, so make sure to read the packaging instructions before mixing up the broth.
