One of my favorite winter meals from my childhood is mom’s chicken and noodles. Just the smell of it takes me back to being a little kid and slurping down that warm comforting deliciousness. This easy and tasty Slow Cooker Cream Chicken Noodle Soup will make you feel at home again and warm your up from the inside out.
My mom always made her own egg noodles from scratch but that takes like 2 hours because you have to dry them out. If you don’t have babies, a job, and a billion things on your “to do” list then yeah, it’s great… but I usually have laundry waiting to be folded, a child to be held, and dishes to be washed.
I found that I can get the same great taste and texture from Reames Frozen Egg Noodles but shave off an hour of prep time. You’ll love these delicious thick noodles!
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE using my Crock-Pot! It makes dinner prep and clean-up so much easier. For this Slow-Cooker Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup all you do it toss the chicken, veggies, broth, and seasonings in and let it cook for 4 hours on low. And no, that is not a typo. Most recipes say to cook on high for 4 hours and low for 8 (or something like that) but chicken isn’t a tough meat so it only needs to be cooked until it reaches 165 degrees. I have found that if I cook it longer it gets too dry and completely falls apart a the slightest touch. What you do want it moist and tender chicken that easily shreds into chunks… and that’s exactly what you get with this recipe. It’s perfection.
So after cooking it for 4 hours, you shred the chicken and add it back to the slow cooker, along with the milk, cream, flour, and frozen noodles. Make sure you give it a good stir and all the noodles are submerged. Cook it for 1 hour on high and the noodles will be cooked through and the soup will be nice and creamy.
The soup will continue to thicken as it cools. If it gets too thick you can add more milk or chicken broth about 1/2 cup at a time.
While cooking, the smell of this lovely soup will permeate through your home and make you feel all warm and cozy even before you take the first bite. And after that first bite, you won’t want to put your spoon down!

I made this the other day and it was wonderful! My family loved it! Since then, my husband has learned he is allergic to tomatoes. I wondered if you might have any suggestions for a good substitute? I’m thinking of maybe adding some beef or veggie broth for the liquid, and maybe some black beans for substance? Just wondering if I should add some extra seasonings too, and/or if there are some other things you might recommend. Thank you!?
I made this & my noodles were pasty. I had them on high for 1 hour as instructed. Used frozen bag. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Other then that, the soup was great.
In the directions after you put the chicken and veggies in the crockpot, do you cook on LOW or HIGH for 4 hours? Super excited to make this!
Hey Melanie! You cook it on low. But at the end after adding the noodles, you turn it to high until the noodles are done.
Awesome! Will do! I hope you are well.
