Crock Pot Chicken Soup with Herb-Infused Chicken Broth

Ingredients

- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups sliced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup uncooked egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients
Begin by washing and slicing 2 cups of carrots, dicing 1 cup of celery, chopping 1 large onion, and mincing 3 garlic cloves.

2. Combine Ingredients
In a large Crock Pot, add 4 cups of chicken broth, 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, the sliced carrots, diced celery, chopped onion, and minced garlic.

3. Season
Add 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir to combine the flavors.

4. Cook in Crock Pot
Set the Crock Pot to low heat and simmer for PT6H (6 hours). This slow cooking process will ensure the chicken becomes tender and the flavors meld beautifully.

5. Shred Chicken
After 6 hours, use a fork to remove the chicken breasts from the pot. Shred them into bite-sized pieces before returning them to the soup.

6. Add Noodles
Add 1 cup of uncooked egg noodles to the Crock Pot. Stir gently to integrate them into the soup.

7. Final Simmer
Let the soup continue to cook on low heat for another PT30M (30 minutes), until the noodles are fully cooked and soft.

8. Garnish and Serve
Turn off the Crock Pot and stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, comforting chicken soup.
