    This Crockpot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup is a comforting recipe that everyone will ask for by name. It has a creamy base instead of a broth that adds great texture and flavor. Plus, it’s made in the crock pot so it cuts down on your time in the kitchen. I love making this ahead of time!

    • Crockpot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

    The chicken and veggies are cooked until they are soft and tender. They gain so much flavor from the cream of chicken soup and spices that each bite will make you hungrier for more. It’s just that delicious.

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    • It’s quick to prepare: Besides sautéing the veggies, minimal preparation is needed. It’s perfect to add the ingredients and go.
    • It’s budget-friendly: Everything you need is inexpensive so you can stick to your grocery budget.
    • It makes great leftovers: This soup reheats so well, making it wonderful for lunch or dinner leftovers. It tastes just as good the next day, if not better!

    Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients needed to make this delicious creamy crockpot chicken noodle soup. They are basic soup components that you will find easily at your local grocery store. You might even already have most of them on hand, so you can make this soup whenever you’d like.

    Ingredients for making creamy chicken noodle soup in a crockpot arranged on a marble surface.
    • Chicken breasts: I use chicken breasts because they are much easier to shred than chicken thighs. Boneless chicken also cuts back on work, too. If you choose to use chicken thighs, you may have to adjust the cooking time slightly, as they take a little longer to cook than chicken breasts. When in doubt, use a thermometer!
    • Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning are the only seasonings I add to this soup. Feel free to use your favorites.
    • Veggies: This soup requires a simple mirepoix (onion, carrot, and celery) to flavor the broth. The vegetables are finely chopped and softened before they are added to the slow cooker.
    • Garlic: I like to use freshly minced garlic for its strong aroma and flavor. Garlic powder will work in a pinch!
    • Olive oil: You need enough olive oil just to soften the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. I only use about a tablespoon. Butter is fine as well.
    • Broth: I use chicken broth but vegetable broth is great, too. This adds flavor and acts as the base for the soup to keep it from becoming too thick with the cream soup and heavy cream.
    • Cream of chicken soup: This adds flavor and helps to achieve the perfect creamy consistency. I like to use it because it reduces the amount of extra salt needed.
    • Heavy cream: A cup of heavy cream becomes a little thick as it cooks, but not as thick as the cream of chicken, creating a nice balance. I add it at the end with the noodles.
    • Egg noodles: These get cooked right in the soup during the last half hour. This prevents them from becoming overcooked and mushy.

    See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts, nutritional information, and detailed instructions.

    Variations

    • Spicy chicken soup: Make this soup with a spicy twist! Add crushed red pepper and hot sauce for a kick.
    • Chicken and rice soup: Try this recipe using white rice instead of egg noodles for a different texture.
    • Chicken and potato soup: Add a starchy veggie, such as diced potatoes for a heartier version.

    How to Make Creamy Chicken Soup in the Slow Cooker

    These are the steps on how to make this crockpot cream chicken noodle soup with egg noodles. To get started, heat a skillet and add the olive oil. Sweat down the veggies just until they soften. Then they will be ready to add to the slow cooker.

    Step 1: Chop the veggies. Dice the onion, carrots, and celery into even-sized pieces and set them aside.

    Step 2: Add the chicken and veggies to the pot. Add the chicken breasts to the bottom of the slow cooker. Season them with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Then, pour the diced vegetables on top.

    Step 3: Add broth and cream soup. Stir in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup until they are well combined.

    Step 4: Cook and shred chicken. Cover and cook the soup for 6-7 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. Then, remove the cooked chicken and shred it.

    Step 5: Add cream and noodles. Put the chicken back into the slow cooker along with the heavy cream and uncooked egg noodles. Cook the soup for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the noodles are tender.

    Recipe Tips

    • Chop the veggies uniformly: Ensure the onions, carrots, and celery are cut to a similar size so they all cook at the same rate.
    • Make it dairy-free: Try this crockpot chicken noodle soup using extra broth and coconut milk in place of the cream of chicken and coconut cream in place of heavy cream. Adjust the seasonings to taste!
    • Use leftover chicken: If you prefer to use leftovers you already have on hand, follow the directions above but leave out the chicken. Add the cooked chicken to the soup when you add the cream and egg noodles.

    Storage Directions 

    • Storing: Store leftover creamy chicken soup in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Ensure it is completely cooked before transferring it to a freezer-safe container and freeze the soup for up to 2 months.
    • Reheating: You can reheat the soup in a saucepan on the stovetop or in a covered bowl in the microwave. 
    • Make Ahead: Prepare and cook the chicken soup up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. I love to do this so I can enjoy homemade soup for lunch throughout the week.

    Serving Suggestions

    • You can’t go wrong with bread to dip in the broth! Try making some flatbread in the air fryer or Brazilian cheese bread instead of traditional bread for a delicious twist.
    • Salad is a great soup companion and I love to make this soup with this broccoli crunch salad and chilled asparagus salad.
    • Finish your comforting meal with homemade snickerdoodle bars!

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I make this in the Instant Pot?

    Of course. Set the Instant Pot to sauté to cook the veggies, and then add the remaining ingredients. Cook it for 20 minutes on the manual setting, and then add the cream and pasta. Cook the soup for an additional 10-12 minutes, and then carefully release the pressure.

    Do I have to soften the vegetables?

    I recommend softening the veggies for a deeper flavor and texture. However, feel free to cut out this step if you’d like.
