Creating this Healthy Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
Mirepoix is the vegetable base of most soups and is the base of a good chicken noodle soup!
Mirepoix is a combination of chopped carrots, celery and onions used to add flavor and aroma to stocks, sauces, soups and other foods.
The proportions (by weight) for making mirepoix are 50% onions, 25% carrots and 25% celery. LOVE IT! Hope you enjoy.

How to make Healthy Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
In the base of your crockpot add in the whole chicken breast, diced carrots, onion, celery, potatoes and garlic.
Drizzle olive oil over top then add in chicken broth, water, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on low heat 6 – 8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
Remove cooked chicken and shred using 2 forks. Add in egg noodles, kidney beans, lemon juice and shredded chicken back in.
Cover again and cook 20-30 minutes longer (or until noodles are cooked). Serve warm with garlic bread or a green salad! Enjoy warm.

Do I need to cook the chicken before putting it in the crockpot?
Nope! Let the crockpot do the work for you! Always be sure to check the internal temperature of your chicken to make sure it has reached 165° F.
Are dried herbs OKAY to use?
Fresh herbs are always my first choice for the most in depth flavor but dried thyme and dried rosemary are also fine to use of fresh isn’t available.
