Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb. boneless skin-less chicken breasts
  • 1 ½ cups celery sliced
  • 1 ½ cups carrots sliced
  • ½ cup yellow onion diced
  • 1 tsp. garlic minced
  • 1 tsp. curry powder

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the chicken broth, chicken, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, curry powder, turmeric, pepper, and bay leaves to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
  • Remove bay leaves, shred the chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker. Add the cooked and drained noodles.
  • Taste for salt, add if needed.
  • Stir and serve!

Notes

  • The egg noodles must be cooked separately on the stovetop for the the slow cooker does not get hot enough fast enough to cook pasta correctly.
  • This recipe makes quite a bit, and you may have leftovers. Place the leftovers in the fridge for up to three days or this freezes well for up to three months.
Variations:
  • Leftover chicken (or turkey) can be used in this recipe. Simply add it at the beginning, just as you would with raw meat.
  • Fresh herbs like Thai basil or thyme make excellent additions and pair beautifully with the curry flavors.
  • For a creamier, richer broth, you can stir in a can of coconut milk.
  • If you'd prefer rice instead of noodles, add 3/4 cup of uncooked Minute brand rice at the end of the cooking time. Then, cook for an additional 45 minutes on high with the lid on.
Serving Suggestions:
  • Spoon the curried chicken noodle soup into bowls and top with whatever you like. Crushed saltine crackers, a pinch of black pepper, freshly chopped cilantro, croutons, or a squeeze of lime all work great.
  • For sides, try a simple green salad, steamed basmati or jasmine rice, or some crusty French bread to go along with the soup.
