Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make it ahead of time?

Yes, this crockpot chicken noodle soup is perfect for meal prep. Once you have made it, let it cool to room temperature before placing in an air tight container. It will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days and portions can be reheated on the stovetop.

Can you freeze it?

I love making soups and chilis as they are great for freezer meals. Once the chicken noodle soup has cooled, place it in a freezer safe container. It will keep well for up to 3 months. Thaw the soup in the fridge overnight before reheating to serve.

Is it dairy-free?

Yes! Unlike lots of chicken soups, this one is totally dairy-free so it’s perfect if you or anyone in your family has an intolerance.

Recipe Notes and Tips

Chicken breasts work best in this recipe, but you can also make it with skinless and boneless chicken thighs.
I love the combination of veggies in this dish, but you can easily add in other veggies like bell peppers or zucchinis.
You can use potatoes instead of yuca if you prefer.
If making ahead of time, be sure to let the soup fully cool before storing it.
