Start by placing the chicken breasts, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic into your crock pot. These vegetables create a solid base and infuse the broth with tons of flavor.

Add the chicken broth over the ingredients. This will be the flavorful base of your soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The broth will simmer all day, soaking up the flavors from the veggies and chicken.

Sprinkle in the dried thyme and dried parsley. These herbs add an extra layer of depth to the soup, creating that homey, comforting taste we all love.

Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. There’s no need to stir during cooking—let the slow cooker work its magic, turning these simple ingredients into a delicious, flavorful soup.

Once the chicken is cooked and tender, remove it from the pot and shred it with two forks. It should fall apart easily, which means it’s perfectly cooked. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and give everything a good stir.

Add the egg noodles to the crock pot. Stir them into the soup, making sure they’re evenly distributed. Cover and let the soup cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the noodles are tender. You’ll notice the soup thickening up as the noodles cook, making it even more comforting!

Once everything is cooked, give the soup a taste. If it needs a little more seasoning, feel free to add more salt, pepper, or extra herbs to suit your taste.
