Comforting, healthy, and nourishing – that’s what this crockpot chicken and noodle kale soup is! This chicken and kale soup is my go-to soup when I feel under the weather or want something cozy on a chilly winter evening. It is incredibly easy to make thanks to the crockpot! Give it a try and you’ll see how great of an addition kale is to your traditional chicken noodle soup.
In the bottom of your crockpot, layer onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and kale. Season chicken thighs with sea salt and pepper then lay them on top. Pour chicken broth onto the rest of the ingredients in the crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
After 6-8 hours, turn the crockpot heat to high. Using forks or kitchen tongs, lightly shred the chicken (you can remove the thighs as well and shred them outside the crockpot). This should be easy since they have cooked so long.
Stir in the noodles, place the lid back on, and allow the noodles to cook and soften for about 30 minutes. Enjoy this healthy flavorful meal!
