Country-Style Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Chicken and a variety of vegetables team up in this homemade chicken noodle soup. The soup is perfectly seasoned with a combination of basil, thyme, and parsley. The crock pot makes the soup nearly hands-free. Just toss it all together in the slow cooker and press a button. You'll have a delicious homemade soup with minimal effort. The soup couldn't be easier, and it's quite versatile. Feel free to add frozen lima beans about an hour before the soup is ready. Or add mixed vegetables in place of the peas. Diced rutabaga or turnips are good as well, or add about 1 cup of shredded cabbage along with the carrots and celery. If you like tomato flavor, add one 14. 5-ounce can of diced or petite diced tomatoes along with the chicken stock. The noodles are cooked separately to avoid overcooking but feel free to add them to the slow cooker the last 45 minutes to an hour and turn it to high. Instead of noodles, consider adding cooked rice or a small pasta shape, such as ditalini, small shells, or orzo.
