2 celery stalks, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts, chicken broth, water, carrots, celery, onion, thyme, dried parsley, bay leaf, salt, and pepper into your slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 3.5 hours.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
Increase the heat setting to HIGH if it is on LOW. Stir in the egg noodles.
Cook, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the fresh lemon juice.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a richer broth, consider adding 1/2 cup of heavy cream or 1 can of condensed cream of chicken soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
If you are planning meals for the week, this soup freezes well without the noodles; add noodles fresh when reheating.
This recipe is much simpler than relying on meal planning services; just set it and forget it!
