You'll love this hearty and easy to make Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Noodle Soup. Happy Monday! After the cold, gloomy week we had for most of last week, I decided it was time to get some new soup recipes up on the blog. Of course when I originally made these recipes it was close to 90 degrees, but luckily I stuck the leftovers of this Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Noodle Soup in the freezer and I was so glad I did.

Not that cleaning the house was how I wanted to spend my Saturday, but I finally took care of some of the projects I was dreading.

Cleaning the soap scum and hard water off the shower door, cleaning the gross black stuff out of the window sills, dusting the ceiling fans, and my favorite, wiping down the kitchen cabinets to get the grease residue off of them. I know you’re totally jealous of all the fun I was having.

By the time I finished having all that fun on Saturday, I was too tired to make anything for dinner. Instead of hitting up the Whole Foods salad/hot food bar I reheated the leftovers of this Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Noodle Soup. It really hit the spot and I didn’t have to make myself look presentable enough to go out in public.

Just throw the ingredients in the slow cooker, go clean your house and when you’re done it will be ready…just kidding. Seriously though, it’s easy and one of those satisfying, healthy dinners I like to make too.

Along with the obvious ingredients, (chicken and noodles) you’ll also find black beans, corn, fire roasted tomatoes, green chiles and a generous amount of Southwest spices. The black beans, corn and noodles are all added in towards the end because you don’t want them getting overcooked.

Cook the noodles separately and add them only to what you plan on eating that night. Noodles don’t freeze very well, especially egg noodles which is what is used in this recipe. Enjoy!
