Jamie Oliver Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Jamie Oliver Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup recipe

Chicken noodle soup is a classic dish made with chicken, vegetables, broth, and noodles. Jamie Oliver’s slow cooker version allows the ingredients to gently simmer for hours, creating a rich, full-bodied broth while keeping the chicken juicy and tender.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 chicken breasts or 3 chicken thighs (skinless, boneless)

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 carrots, sliced into rounds

  • 2 celery sticks, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 sprigs fresh thyme)

  • 1 litre chicken stock (low-salt if preferred)

  • 150g egg noodles or spaghetti, broken into pieces

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the vegetables

Chop the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic and set aside.

Step 2: Add ingredients to the slow cooker

Place chicken, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and chicken stock into the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Cook slowly

Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.

Step 4: Shred the chicken

Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, then return it to the soup.

Step 5: Add the noodles

Stir in the noodles directly into the slow cooker 20–25 minutes before serving, or cook them separately in boiling water and add just before serving.

Step 6: Finish and serve

Stir everything together, adjust seasoning, and ladle into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley.
