Instructions

Place prepared chicken breasts in a 6 quart or larger crockpot and season with a little salt and pepper. Top with onion, carrots, celery, garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt and pepper, and bay leaves (if using).
Pour in chicken broth over ingredients. Gently stir to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or HIGH for 3-4 hours.

Notes

CHICKEN. You can use chicken breast or thigh meat. Both taste great and shred well.
ADDING FLAVOR. For the best flavor, add the lemon juice at the end of cooking.
NOODLES. Definitely add the egg noodles towards the end of cooking, or they will become very mushy.
STORING. Store leftover chicken soup in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
FREEZING. This chicken soup recipe freezes well, so make a big batch and use it all season long! (Just don't use frozen chicken for cooking the soup if freezing the finished recipe) It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
