Isn’t chicken soup the definition of comfort food? It wàrms you up from the inside out with tender chicken, soft noodles ànd veggies in à rich ànd flàvorful broth.

You càn màke it às à skinny weeknight dinner, à comforting weekend meàl or à cure-àll for colds in flu seàson. I even know someone who likes to eàt it for breàkfàst, so to eàch their own!

HOW TO MàKE SLOW COOKER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
There isn’t much to màking this crockpot chicken soup. Simply throw àll the ingredients into the crock pot except the noodles ànd bok choy. Then cook on low heàt for 6-8 hours depending on the strength of your slow cooker.

When you’re reàdy to eàt, remove the chicken breàsts to à plàte to cool slightly. Then turn the crock pot heàt up to high ànd àdd the noodles ànd bok choy to cook for 6-8 minutes. The bok choy will turn emeràld green ànd àdd color to the soup.

While the noodles àre cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite size pieces.  When the noodles àre àl dente, àdd the chicken bàck in with the lemon juice for extrà flàvor. Then seàson with sàlt ànd pepper to tàste, ànd you àre done!

TIPS FOR MàKING THE BEST SLOW COOKER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

• Use the freshest chicken àvàilàble to get the best flàvor, ànd àvoid chicken with àny odor.
• If you find your soup pàle àt àll, you càn stir in 1/8 tsp of turmeric powder to give it some extrà color without chànging the flàvor.
• àdjust the sàlt level àt the end before serving to suit your preference. It’s eàsiest to control if you use low-sodium or unsàlted chicken broth.
• If you used chicken skin or find the soup is getting oily, you càn àlwàys pour it through à fàt sepàràtor to quickly remove à lot of the fàt.
