Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 3 medium carrots (diced)
  • 3 stalks celery (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

Cooking Essentials

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and become aromatic, enhancing their natural flavors.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Season them generously with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to infuse flavor throughout the cooking process.
  3. Add Vegetables and Liquids: Transfer the sautéed vegetables into the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and add the cream of chicken soup. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Cook the Soup: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, allowing flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker, mixing it through the soup.
  6. Add Cream and Noodles: Stir in the heavy cream and uncooked egg noodles into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes until the noodles are soft and tender.
  7. Finish with Parsley: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the soup and stir to combine. Serve hot for a delicious, creamy chicken noodle soup experience.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though the soup will be less rich.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken or cooked shredded chicken to reduce cooking time, adding noodles and cream last as directed.
  • Do not add noodles at the start as they will overcook and turn mushy; add them towards the end to keep their texture.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end to taste, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs if desired.
  • Fresh parsley can be substituted with dried parsley—use about 1 tablespoon if dried.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, replace heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free cream of chicken soup.
