We have been having such a cold winter here in Ontario, some days feeling like -30C, all I want to do is curl up and eat and drink warm things!! I definitely want to add more soups to my recipe list, I think soup is a great comfort food and can either be a meal in itself or a side dish. Chicken noodle soup is such a classic and although there are millions of recipes out there I thought why not create my own.. I loved it and it was so easy to make in the slow cooker, you can leave it all day and then add the noodles just before your ready to eat it. Makes 14- 1 cup servings at just 2 freestyle smart points.

- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cups 170g rotini pasta (picture shown for what I used)
- Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Plug in your crockpot and set to low
- Place your chicken breast, carrots, celery, onion, broth, water and seasonings in and cook on low for approx 6-7 hours. Remove chicken and shred.
- Turn slow cooker to high and add in your pasta and chopped parsley, cook for 10-15 minutes until noodles are soft, add shredded chicken and stir. Remove from heat and serve *do not leave on heat or your pasta will cook too much.
- Makes 14- 1 cup servings at 2 freestyle smart points per serving, soup will freeze well.

Do you know how to convert this to an instant pot recipe
Hi, I’m sorry I do not have an instant pot so I would not know 🙁
Hi, where do you purchase noodles, would like to make this soup…sounds yumme👏😊
The brand I have is a Canadian brand but any should be fine
this is delicious!!! mine was alot thicker ? But used the same amount of everything ?any ideas
Hi Tracy, glad you enjoyed it, was it thicker right away or after it set for a bit? Mine thickened up after it had been sitting for a while
it was a little when we first had it. then when It set it had gotten alot thicker. still delicious just wondered about the point change maybe ?
Hi, yeah as mentioned mine thicken, you can just add some water to is as it would now be more like a condensed soup
Your noodles likely absorbed the broth. When I use noodles in a soup I put the pot in my sink filled with cold water-prevents the noodles from over cooking and soaking up broth.
Made your soup today for my sick husband. It was delicious. Enjoy your recipes. Keep up the good work
Thanks Sandi, glad you enjoyed it and sending get well wishes to your hubby
I love your recipes. Do you have one for Irish Soda bread? thanks
Hi Louise, no I don’t sorry, did you try Pinterest?
I have input all of the data from the nutrition facts chart and I get the smart point value as 8 for the freestyle. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Glenn, yes.. because as mentioned in the post the nutritional values incl zero point foods, so chicken and veggies, I build my recipes on the WW app to determine the freestyle points but I have to provide the nutritional info for the recipe incl all ingredients for those counting calories
Thank you very much for the explanation. Terrific tasting soup
Hi, just found your site and it’s great! The chicken soup looks delicious; I am definitely going to try it. What kind of chicken broth do you use? If I used low sodium, would it change the points?
Hi Eileen, so glad you found me too 🙂 I usually use a low sodium one as well, and most chicken broths do not have points in them
Just made this soup and it is delicious! And so light!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
But after making it a recipe in my recipe builder in the WW app, I get 1 SP on the freestyle program? I see that you got 2sp. Just wondering what I did wrong?
It is hard to say, maybe a different product brand?? Go based on what your App says using your ingredients 🙂
So excited to try, could i use wheat egg noodles instead?
Hi Vanessa, yes that should work fine, I hope you enjoy it 🙂
I made this loaf but it didn’t bake. I tried again and left it in the oven for double the time but it still didn’t bake through. It’s a new oven and I have made other things that turned out fine. Not sure why. Any suggestions.
Hi Lori, sorry not sure which loaf as this is posted on my soup recipe?
Do you know if another type of pasta would hold up as well, my husband is gf and wondering if i should leave adding pasta till later?
Hi, I’m not too familiar with GF pasta, might be a good idea to add it in later on
