Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 2 cups egg noodles (optional)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.
Add the sliced carrots, celery, diced onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the ingredients are fully submerged.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the bay leaves.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken breasts from the soup and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot.
If using egg noodles, add them to the crock pot at this time, ensuring there is enough liquid to cook them. Let them cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
Remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
