Slow Cooker and Crockpot Soups!
I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite ways to use my slow cooker is for soups. There is something about coming home and having the house smell divine. Or even if you work from home like me, smelling it all day, just ups the anticipation.
I think you all agree because the most popular posts on blog are slow cooker posts, like this Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Soup and this Slow Cooker White Chili with Avocado Cream.
Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Noodle Soup
I found this Mexican Chicken Noodle Soup at Food52. The combination of cumin, coriander and turmeric sounded wonderful. I modified the recipe at bit because I did it in the slow cooker and I prefer to use bone in chicken for slow cooker soups.
This really is such an easy slow cooker recipe. You just put everything in the slow cooker except for the cilantro, pasta and lime juice. Then when it’s almost time to eat, you remove the chicken and shred it and turn the slow cooker to high and add the noodles! It all cooks in one pot!
Serve it in some cute soup bowls topped with the cilantro.

January 17, 2018 at 4:53 pmDid anyone else notice after the fact that the instructions said to combine all the ingredients except the cilantro and then at the end tells you to add the Angel Hair pasta? Epic fail!
Pam Greer says
January 18, 2018 at 1:08 pmOh my gosh, I never caught that. I need to change that ASAP to not add the pasta at the beginning.

January 25, 2015 at 8:47 pmI whine a lot when I am sick too–right there with ya! Love this soup, but did have one question: why the turmeric? It just surprised me a little in a Mexican recipe. 🙂

March 23, 2014 at 10:43 pmIt’s hard to get up the gumption to make homemade soup when you are feeling crappy but it sure is worth it when you do. 😉 This soup looks like a great cure–so full of flavor.
Thanks for sharing it with Souper Sundays this week.

March 23, 2014 at 3:23 pmI’ve either got to use Eat Your Books or cancel the auto renew feature. I’m paying for it but quit using it long ago. It just rarely had the cookbooks I use. Started to index them myself but that’s a pain in the rear.

March 22, 2014 at 7:37 amOH this looks and sounds yummy. I too crave chicken noodle soup when not feeling well.
Marjie says

March 21, 2014 at 11:08 amYum! This sounds like a healthier alternative to a recipe I received from a neighbor (after she brought me a steaming pot of soup when I was sick last month). Her recipe calls for 1 box of Rice-a-Roni Spanish blend, which makes for a very delicious flavor, although it was somewhat salty. I love the use of small noodles and pasta rather than the larger (and more traditional) egg noodles. Definitely going to try your recipe! Thx!

March 21, 2014 at 10:36 amI hope all the spices in this did the trick at getting you better!!
Catherine says
March 21, 2014 at 10:08 amI think a person should wallow in their own self-pity every once in awhile. But that yummy looking soup is enough to perk anyone up! Yum!
Hope you are feeling better Pam!

March 21, 2014 at 12:53 pmYou must be better after a bowl of that soup! I tend to forget that chicken soup does not have to be the same old, same old soup…..
