Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast Use boneless, skinless for ease.

  • 1 cup celery, chopped Fresh veggies are recommended.
  • 1 each onion, diced Freshly diced for best flavor.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Freshly minced for deeper flavor.

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Optional, but recommended for presentation.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a Crockpot, place the chicken breast. It’s okay if it’s frozen; it will cook beautifully throughout the day.
  2. Add the chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, and oregano.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
  5. Stir in the egg noodles and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes until the noodles are tender.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Store leftover soup in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze portions without the egg noodles for up to 2 months.
