Chicken Noodle Soup Crock pot style!

Yummy! After a long week I wanted something simple, healthy, and fast for dinner tonight. I love this one pot meal. And even better...in the crock pot. I'm always looking for good crock pot meals.  I like these kind of dinners on Fridays especially when I'm pretty much cooked out. I seriously threw all the ingredients in when "Easy" was taking his nap and the house smells scrumptious!

  • I just bought one of those whole already roasted chickens. I pulled pieces off and threw into the crock pot (told you easy).
  • 1 cup dices carrots (about 3 or 4)
  • 1 cup diced celery (about 3 stalks)
  • 1 cup diced onion (about a half of onion)
  • couple chopped cloves of garlic
  • 4 cans of chicken broth or one of those chicken broth cartons
  • It called for 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, but all I had was cream of chicken soup. So I tried that. We will see how it turns out?
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons of fine herbs. Anything you want really.
  • The last 15 minutes add 2 cups of egg noodles. You can even try already cooked rice. But the noodles help thicken it up.
  • cook on high for 3-4 hours or low about 8 hours. 
  • enjoy!
And BTW...I'm in a rut. HELP!  I'm searching for healthy and easy one pot meals lately. If anyone has one they want to share please do...

And I think I want this for Christmas...dutch oven.

Never used one, but I heard they're fantastic for one pot dishes? Opinions?

That sounds good. I love my crock pot. I use it at least once a week because I don't want to have to cook when I get home from work. I will have to give this one a try. Let me find some good crock pot recipes for you!

I love my crock pot too...and this week I received The Best Slow & Easy Recipes cookbook (from the editors of Cook's Illustrated) as a gift. I can't wait to try some of the recipes.
