Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup

I'm starting out with something old and new. I make this homemade chicken noodle soup that is delicious, but I have never made it in the crockpot before. I'm giving it a try today and I hope it will turn out as good as it does usually.

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or about 6 boneless skinless thighs (I used thighs, I prefer dark meat)
About 4 stalks of celery
About 3/4 of a 16oz. bag of baby carrots
32 oz. of chicken stock
12 oz. bag of extra wide egg noodles




 Directions:



Place the chicken thighs (or breasts) in the bottom of the crockpot.



Cut up and add the celery and carrots. (I just threw the carrots in there whole.)



Add the chicken stock, then cover and cook on low approximately 6 - 8 hours.



Just before dinner time, boil egg noodles according to package directions.



Skim the fat from the broth and break up the chicken with a wooden spoon.



Add the noodles and serve it up!




So this turned out great in the crockpot. I will definitely do it this way again. So much less work and mess. And there's nothing better than coming home to a hot dinner that is basically ready to eat.

Let me know if you try the recipe and what you think about it.
