Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by chopping the vegetables, including carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Aim for bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- In a spacious slow cooker, add the chopped vegetables along with the bay leaves, chicken breasts, and chicken broth. Stir gently to combine.
- Secure the lid on the slow cooker and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and cooked through.
- About 20 minutes before serving, carefully remove the chicken breasts using tongs and place them on a cutting board. Shred the chicken.
- Increase the heat to high and stir in the egg noodles directly into the soup mixture.
- Allow the noodles to cook on high for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and fully cooked, stirring occasionally.
- Before serving, remember to fish out the bay leaves and ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped herbs.

Notes
For a richer taste, consider sautéing onions and garlic before adding them to the slow cooker. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
