Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Carrots, diced
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 1 medium-sized Yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Egg noodles
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (optional, for added richness)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the diced carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds apart.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker, shred it using two forks, and return it back into the pot.
Add the egg noodles to the slow cooker, stirring gently to submerge them in the broth and vegetables.
Cover and continue cooking on HIGH for another 20 minutes, or until the noodles are soft and cooked through.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream to add richness to the stoup.
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Ladle the stoup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
