Anything that is less stress is good.  Homemade crockpot soup is good.  a slow cooker lemony chicken soup is even better!

Your entire family is going to LOVE this lemon chicken orzo soup made in your crock pot! Even the pickiest eaters!

Throw a few ingredients in your crockpot in the morning, and that evening you have a delicious dinner that everyone will love.

Why we Love Cooking with Chicken Thighs:

We love cooking with chicken thighs in the crockpot because they add so more flavor and are much more less expensive than boneless chicken breasts.

Soup Recipe Tips:

  • Onions do much better in crockpot soup if you chop them in a food processor or chop them fine with a good sharp knife. Large pieces of onions won’t cook the same as the smaller tiny pieces.
  • Always let your garlic “breathe” for 10 minutes after chopping. Let it sit before adding to the soup. And as always, add as much garlic as you like because garlic is very healthy for the body.
  • Try to purchase organic carrots.

What To Serve with Your Homemade Chicken Soup

We love to serve warm rolls with butter that soak up the broth.
Grilled cheese sandwich
Add some saltine crackers and a tossed salad.
Warm biscuits with strawberry jelly

How to Store Leftover Soup:

  • Store leftover chicken lemon soup in your refrigerator for about 4-5 days. Keep in an airtight container until ready to reheat.
  • Let the soup cool completely before freezing the soup.  Pour soup into freezer containers or a freezer bag.  Keep in freezer for about 3 months.

Homemade Soups are Very Heathy and Great Family Meals!

We love using tasty and money saving chicken thighs in our soup recipes.

Your crock pot chicken noodle soup will turn out delicious, but make sure you know how to pick the healthiest chicken for your soup.
