How to make Crockpot Chicken Soup
It's so easy to make chicken soup from scratch when you use this shortcut. The super market shortcut I used to make this crock pot soup was a rotisserie chicken I picked up at the store. Simply, skin and shred the whole chicken and add it to your crock pot. You can shred the chicken with two forks or use a meat shredder.
In addition to the shredded chicken, you will add 3 types of beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, carrots, celery, mushrooms, onion, garlic and spices. Feel free to personalize this recipe to fit your family. If they are not fans of mushrooms, you can omit them or simply use less.
I find the beans really make this soup hearty and flavorful. Once you have added all your ingredients to the crock pot, cover it with the lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
Once the soup is ready, top the soup with sliced green onion.
Now you have a warm and hearty soup to serve to your family on a chilly night, or just when you all need a little comfort.

You can add 8oz of noodles to this soup. Simply boil the noodles in a separate pot until al dente. Then drain, and add to crock pot when there are 5 minutes left of cooking time. Stir to combine. One of my favorite noodles to add are wide egg noodles.
Store this soup for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Chicken soup always goes great with a slice of garlic bread. You can also serve this with a sandwich or salad.
