Chicken Noodle Soup, Chicken Noodle Soup, Chicken Noodle Soup with a... wait a second NO SODA.. don't do it!

I digress.  Here is the soup recipe :) :

What you need:

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts 
• 5 medium carrots, peeled and chopped (1 3/4 cups)
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
• 4 stalks celery, chopped (1 1/4 cups)
• 3 - 5 cloves garlic, minced (I actually don't use a lot of garlic but throw in a splash of garlic powder because I'm not a huge fan :) )
• 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth (3 - 15 oz cans)
• 1 cup water
• 3/4 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Add chicken (un-cut), diced carrots, onion, celery, and garlic to slow cooker.
Drizzle olive oil over top then add in chicken broth, water, thyme,  and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and cook on low heat 6 - 7 hours.
Remove cooked chicken and allow to rest 10 minutes, then dice into bite size pieces.
Meanwhile, add egg noodles and parsley to slow cooker.
Increase temperature to high, cover and cook 30 minutes longer (or until noodles are tender).

Enjoy!
