Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup in the Crockpot

December is a great time to pull that crockpot out and get some use from it. It is a great feeling after a hctic day of work, shopping or play practice to come home to dinner already cooked and just waiting to be served.

The recipe for today is Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup. This recipe is a half crockpot and half stove top but is still easy and taste great.

1 whole chicken
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 bag of egg noodles
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1 cup of milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Put the whole chicken , spices and cut up vegetables in the crockpot. I put enough water in the pot to nearly cover the chicken. Cooked on high for about 4 - 5 hours. Just check it along. When it is done remove the chicken and set the stock aside in another pan. Debone the chicken (I use about half of the chicken in this recipe and save the others for a different recipe).
Put the noodles in the stock and add the soup and milk and cook until done and then add the chicken and stir it in and you are ready to serve.

Some Extra Tips and Ideas:

1. You can use all the chicken and a full bag of noodles if you have more to serve. We have 4 to serve at our house and using the recipe above we still have some leftover. You may need to add extra milk to the soup.
2. You can also make this all on the stove top instead of a crockpot.
3. Dried parsley could also be added.
4. You can use turkey instead of chicken.
