Pat chicken dry with paper towel before cooking. This slow cooker spin on a classic is a must-have

Chicken noodle soup is not only one of the most comforting dishes on earth, it's also one of the easiest to make. And if you buy boxed chicken stock, it can take as little as 30 minutes to throw the stock, some tender chicken, cooked noodles and veggies into a pot — that is, if you're not making it in the slow cooker.
If you are, of course the soup will take a bit longer, but there are still a few ways you can shorten that time. Buying rotisserie chicken means the soup won't need as long to cook as it does when you use raw chicken. You can also add dry noodles, which I do in the recipe below. And can I just say: noodles cooked in stock? O.M.G.
