Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup
It could be argued that the most comforting meal around is chicken noodle soup. It’s not just the warmth and the steam that billows out of the bowl, but the texture of each ingredient as you slurp and swallow the warm chicken broth. What makes this recipe so good is the fall-apart- tender chicken, and it’s the slow-cooking method that accomplishes this. No need to stand over a stove to make your favorite winter remedy.
