Just thinking about chicken noodle soup whisks me back to my childhood and all things cozy and warm.

Same for you?

It seems like chicken noodle soup is a classic favorite for most people, and for me, it’s still a staple in my household.

It’s my go-to soup when I’m feeling sick, and my number one choice when I want a hot bowl of deliciousness. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, soup is my absolute favorite.

I eat it at least once a week (no exaggeration) and never tire of it. There’s just something about the warm broth, hearty veggies, and savory flavor that draws me in every time.

And I’m not picky about the flavors, either. While I usually opt for more broth-based soups over the creamy kind, I do love them all. French onion (be still my heart), chowders, Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup, One Pot Chicken Fajita Soup…you name it, and I’m there.

I’ve always loved soup (especially chicken noodle) and could sip on it all day long. It doesn’t help that I’m always cold, so even in the summer, you can find me with a bowl of soup nearby!

Interesting fact about me: I’m not the biggest fan of leftovers. I know, I know…I can feel you glaring at me. I’m just not, I never have been, and if I eat leftovers, it has to be pretty darn spectacular (like homemade soup or pizza).

So, when the hubster is eating leftovers for dinner, that’s when soup comes into play for me. It’s my go-to meal of choice!

And that’s where this Crockpot creamy chicken noodle soup comes into play. It’s a mouthful to say (no pun intended!) but oh-so good.

Can I Use Different Vegetables? 

Yes, the best part about this Crockpot creamy chicken noodle soup is that it’s so easy to customize depending on your tastes!

The hubster and I don’t like celery, so I didn’t add that in, but if you do, feel free to use it. Love peas? Add ’em in? Hate carrots? Take ’em out. See what I mean?

Can Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Be Frozen? 

Since the soup contains milk, I don’t recommend freezing it. I worry that it will split once frozen and be grainy after being reheated. 

Tips for Making Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

  • Season to taste as you go along. I used the exact measurements as listed in the recipe below, but once the soup was done, I adjusted the seasonings a bit more to fit my tastes (i.e. more salt and pepper).
  • Be careful not to cook the chicken too long, otherwise it will become dry and rubbery.
  • It’s best to let the chicken rest for 10 minutes once you remove it from the slow cooker (and before you shred it) so that it retains some of its juices.
  • Watch those noodles! It’s easy to overcook them, and if that happens, they become mushy. Check after 8 minutes to see how tender noodles are.

So grab those ingredients and whip up this easy creamy chicken noodle soup . I guarantee it’ll become a new favorite of yours!
