Soup weather in New England might just be my favorite time of year! And there is nothing tastier or hands free as a nice Chicken Noodle Soup where the Crocker does most of the work for you!
Ingredients
- 3 Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts
- 3 32 oz Boxes Low Sodium Chicken Stock
- 4 Julienned Celery Sticks
- 3 Large Julienned Carrots
- 1 Large Chopped White Onion
- 3-4 Sprigs Fresh Thyme Dry is fine too, just give it a little crush in your hands before adding to pot.
- 2 Dried Bay Leaves
- 1 16 oz Box Pasta of your Choice I used Mini Farfalle in this recipe because my Son likes the shape.
- Kosher Salt To taste, but add enough.
- Black Pepper To taste, but add enough.
- Parmesan cheese For garnish and a little salty bite.
Servings:
Instructions
- Put chicken breasts; carrots; celery; onion; thyme; bay leaves and salt and pepper in the Crocker. Pour the chicken stock over all the ingredients and combine. Set your Crocker cooking time to high for 6 hours.
- 1 hr before cook time ends, remove the chicken and shred it with 2 forks. Put the chicken back in the Crocker to absorb the wonderful cooking liquids and all that fabulous flavor. Remove the bay leaves and discard.
- When cook time comes to an end, keep your soup on warm. Taste the broth and add salt and pepper if needed. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. I do this because if you cook the pasta in the soup, it absorbs all of the liquids and you are left with more of a stoup-stew soup.
- Drain the pasta when it is done cooking. Add a dollop or two of butter of course for richness. Put some pasta in a bowl and ladle the sumptuous chicken, veggies and broth over. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese, if you want. Serve with garlic bread if you like and maybe a glass of wine. That my friends is purely optional. Enjoy!
