Method
 

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