What’s the most comforting food for those winter chills and ills? Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, of course. Author Julie Beyer RD offers a fabulous recipe for a slow cooker chicken noodle soup that will fill your home with a fabulous aroma and, of course, taste great at the end of a cold winter day, especially for those family members feeling under the weather.

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
  • 3 stalks celery, cut into small, bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (MSG-free)
  • 6 cups MSG free chicken broth (Swanson’s is available almost everywhere)
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ¼ teaspoon of black pepper (if tolerated)
  • 1 ½ cupped cooked eggs noodles (I like Marie Callender’s brand found in the freezer section)

Directions

Add whole chicken breasts to pre-heated, 5 to 6 quart slow cooker. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, broth, and seasonings. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or until  chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove chicken breasts. Chop into bite sized pieces and return to soup mixture. Add cooked noodles. Cook for an additional 30 minutes. Serve hot.Slow C
