How to Make Mississippi Chicken Noodle Soup

This soup is effortless to make with only a few simple ingredients. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-qt. slow cooker. Add a packet of Au Jus Gravy mix, chicken broth, ranch dressing mix, carrots, celery, jarred pepperoncini peppers, and some pepper juice. Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6 hours. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Add the shredded chicken back to the crock pot and add uncooked egg noodles. Cook for 15 to 30 minutes, or until the noodles are soft.

Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• I used boneless skinless chicken breasts. You can substitute chicken tenderloins or boneless chicken thighs if you prefer.
• Here is our recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-ranch-dressing-mix/
• I suggest using low-sodium or no-salt chicken broth, especially if you use store-bought ranch dressing mix.
  • Here is our recipe for Homemade Chicken Broth: https://www.plainchicken.com/slow-cooker-chicken-broth/
• Can I cook chicken soup on HIGH? Yes! You can cook this soup on HIGH for 3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked.
• Can I make Mississippi Chicken Noodle Soup on the stovetop? Yes! Add all the ingredients to a Dutch oven. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until the chicken breasts are cooked. Shread the chicken with two forks, add the noodles and boil until the noodles are cooked.
• Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken? Yes! Feel free to substitute shredded rotisserie chicken meat. This is great for when you want to make this soup on the stovetop!
  • You will need about 3 or 4 cups of chicken.
• Can I freeze chicken noodle soup? Yes! You can freeze the leftovers for later. Thaw and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. You will need to add some more chicken broth when reheating. The noodles will absorb the broth after sitting in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • If making this exclusively to freeze, leave out the noodles and add them when you reheat the soup.
