Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 8 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/4 cups diced yellow onion
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (3 1/2-pound) roasting chicken
- 3 cups uncooked egg noodles
Instructions
- In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine the chicken broth, onions, carrots, celery, minced garlic, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
- Rinse the chicken, trim any excess fat from the cavity and place it in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker and cook the chicken on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours until the chicken is cooked throughout and has reached an internal temperature of 165 ºF.
- Transfer the chicken from the slow cooker to a cutting board. Remove the bay leaves from the slow cooker.
- Turn off the slow cooker and skim any fat from the top of the soup. (See Kelly's Note.)
- Add the noodles, stirring to combine. Allow the noodles to cook just until al dente, about 20 minutes. While the noodles cook, remove the skin, fat and bones from the chicken and shred the meat. Once the noodles are cooked, return the chicken to the slow cooker, stirring to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper then serve.
- Kelly's Note: There are a variety of ways to skim the excess fat from the soup. If time permits, refrigerate the soup to allow the fat to congeal on top of the soup then simply scoop it off. If you're serving the soup right away, allow the fat to collect on the top then skim it off with a spoon or place a paper towel lightly on top to soak up the fat.
