Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup

mydesigirl's Note:

This is one of my mom's recipes. I was sick with a summer cold and this really hit the spot. Hardly any effort. It's soup the first night and it's not so much like a soup the next day. The noodles soak up the liquid but it's still REALLY good!

We really enjoyed this. We used chicken tenders (still frozen) since they were easier to cut up and added 3 cloves of fresh minced garlic. Overall comfort food and very easy to prepare on those busy week days when the kids have school activities or sports in the evenings. We will be making this again!

Perfect comfort food for cold or sick days... I was looking for something to make my father in law when he had the flu. This soup was exactly what he needed. I think next time I may cut the noodles in half to have more fluid... Or I might use rice instead... In any event it was also perfect as-is.

I'm sad, I really wanted to like this - it smelled so good in the crockpot! 16 oz of egg noodles is just too much. When I put them in, they sucked up all the moisture and I ended up with mushy chicken noodle stew. Also, it was relatively bland (surprisingly). I'll probably try this one again with some tweaks on seasoning and try precooking the noodles.
