What can I expect?
Traditional chicken noodle soup recipes are made with flour-based noodles, which are a form of starchy carbs. However, this version swaps the typical noodles for low-carb edamame noodles. Then, we combine them with fresh veggies and lots of chicken for a hearty homeameade meal full of protein, vitamins, and nutrients.
Not only is this soup delicious and comforting, but it combines and cooks in a crockpot, too! That means you don’t have to hover over the stove for hours. Just add the soup ingredients to the crockpot, cover, and wait. When you’re ready to eat, all you have to do is boil the noodles, and stir everything together.
The long, slow cooking time infuses all the ingredients with herbaceous flavor the whole family will love. In fact, it’s so tasty your picky eaters won’t even realize it’s healthy!

Let’s take a look at the main ingredients:
- Chicken breasts
- Carrots
- Celery
- Onion
- Edamame noodles
Chicken, carrots, celery, and onion are natural, nutritious food sources. Use them to add protein and nutrients to a variety of recipes.
Sugar is what makes food unhealthy.
Most chicken noodle soup recipes are made with egg noodles (refined grains), which digest very similarly to sugar.
In a single serving, you’re already up to 22g or more of sugar. Next, you’re looking at heartburn with an energy crash. (And you’ll be scouring the pantry for your next sugar snack within the hour.)
Swapt the starchy noodles for low-carb noodles, and this recipe becomes nourishment. The ingredients provide vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and quality, whole-food energy.

Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup Tips
1. Not a fan of chicken breasts?
Feel free to substitute chicken thighs instead! They have more fat than chicken breasts but tend to stay juicier and more flavorful as a result. They’re still nutritious and taste incredible with this soup!
2. Store leftovers
Once cool, you can transfer leftover soup to an airtight container, and store it in the fridge for 3-4 days. Or, you can omit the noodles, and freeze it for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge voerngiht. Then, add the noodles, and warm individual portions in the microwave or over medium heat on the stovetop.
3. Enhance the flavor
Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings like paprika or cayenne pepper. Or, add herbs like parsley, basil, or oregano to customize the flavor.
4. Make it a meal
This soup is plenty filling enough to serve on its own. However, if you want to bulk it up, try pairing it with sides like lemon parmesan salad, low carb dinner rolls, or broccoli fritters.
5. Have leftover chicken?
Freeze it for later. Or, use it in recipes like our juicy chicken breast, spinach & cheese stuffed chicken breasts, or feta artichoke chicken!
