Well…isn’t that just a bowl of goodness?
I’m such a sucker for a good bowl of soup. I found a recipe inside my Farmhouse Christmas cookbook that had spinach with the chicken noodle soup…and I knew I had to make something like that. Delicious. I even ate the leftovers the next day for lunch…and it was just as good. I made mine in the slow cooker because…that makes my life so easy.
Warm. Hearty. Comforting. Soup.
Shopping List
3 cups chicken stock
1 onion, chopped
2 (10 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (10 oz) package of frozen spinach, thawed and all excess water squeezed out
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (uncooked)
a little Salt and Pepper
2 cups uncooked short-cut pasta (I used shells but rigatoni or penne would work too!)
Shredded Cheddar Cheese to garnish
In your slow cooker, layer the first 6 ingredients.
Cover and cook on low 6 or 7 hours or on high about 3 hours.
About 30 minutes before you’re ready to eat, remove the lid, shred the chicken right inside the slow cooker using two forks and pour your pasta in. Cover the soup back and continue to cook about 30 minutes (or until the noodles are tender). Try not to remove the lid during that 30 minutes or else it will take your noodles a lot longer to cook.
When the noodles are cooked, ladle into bowls and garnish with a little cheese.

You need to know how many times I am in the grocery store shopping and I'll pull over and google a MIx and Match Mama recipe. I always shop with a list but there is always something I end up needing to look up! Ha! Most recently I made your lazy lasagna and pumpkin chocolate chip cake cookies. Both were a hit and I pop those cookies in my mouth like there is no tomorrow. I'm officially addicted to them!

we are suppose to get a huge rain storm over the next 2 days. This will be prefect and easy to make. Nothing like warm soup on cold, rainy days. Sounds delicious!

The last 30 minute noodle cooking….. Is that on high or low? Thank you also for such an organized and consistent blog.

Question: I have only ever made this on high. If I was slow cooking for longer (on low) would the cooking time for the noodles take longer?
Mix and Match Mama says
The noodles seem to always cook in 30 minutes regardless if you're cooking on high or low. For such a short amount of time (and considering your liquid is already really hot), it should be fine either way.

Hi, was wondering if I used a pound of frozen chicken breasts how long to cook them for? Or if you even recommend that?
Mix and Match Mama says
You could throw a pound of frozen chicken breasts in there, it would need to cook a bit longer (closer to 7 or 8 hours).
