When you say 1 lg can chicken broth is that the very large 49oz can in addition to a regular 14oz can?

Hi Melissa,

The paper container of chicken broth is 32 oz. I would just use one or two of those, or whatever it takes to fill your crockpot to the halfway point with broth or water.

Hope this helps,

When using a decent quantity of real chicken, it's usually best to use half broth and half water since the chicken will flavour the extra water, otherwise you're just spicing up ready made broth IMO. THis is a perfect soup recipe, been that way for a thousand years, good job.

p.s. if someone in the family is picky about celery, you can just put halfed stalks in and then pull'em out when it's ready, tat way you still get good flavour.

Great recipe - I used a whole 'young' chicken put it in the crockpot the night before & in the morning I took all the bones out. I used potatoes and all sorts of veggies :) thank you for sharing with us.

I made this for me and my kids. They don't like garlic so I always add mine fresh to my own serving separately. This recipe was simple and delicious! Perfect for picky eaters. I did only carrots and celery for vegetables. Half broth and half water.Turned out great. Next time I will add potatoes to it.

I'm making this as we speak (well the crock pot is haha). I was wondering, for the noodles or rice, are those added already cooked? Or add uncooked and allow the dish to simmer a while longer?

I'm also considering just shredding my chicken breasts vs the cubes. Nice recipe, thanks!
