Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 whole chicken - (3 lbs), cut into 8 pieces
1 large onion, peeled, quartered
1 large carrot, peeled, quartered
3 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
1/2 tsp crushed dried thyme
1/2 tsp crushed dried marjoram
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 qt canned no-salt no-fat chicken broth
1 qt boiling water
6 oz medium-wide noodles
4 oz button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 lb fresh spinach, well washed,
and large stems removed

Recipe Instructions:

Rinse and pat dry chicken. Place in a 5-quart or larger crockery slow cooker. Place the onion, carrot, and parsley around chicken pieces. Sprinkle with thyme, marjoram, and pepper.

Add chicken broth, cover, and cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours or on High for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

When chicken is done, remove from broth and cool for about 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Discard the onion, carrot, and parsley. Remove and discard the chicken skin and bones. Shred chicken and set aside. Skim off and discard all surface fat from the broth.

If cooking on Low, change setting to High. Add the boiling water, noodles, and mushrooms. Cook until noodles are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and continue to cook until noodles and tender and spinach wilts, about 3 minutes. Gently stir in shredded chicken and heat through.

Ladle into wide, shallow soup bowls.

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’."

~ John Thorne, American food writer
