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.
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)
Chop the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic and set aside.
Place chicken, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and chicken stock into the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, then return it to the soup.
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.
Stir everything together, adjust seasoning, and ladle into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley.
