  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 medium stalks celery (with leaves), sliced (1 1/4 cups)
  • 1 large carrot, chopped (3/4 cup)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 3/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 box (9 oz) frozen baby sweet peas
  • 1 cup frozen home-style egg noodles (from 12-oz bag)

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 10-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add chicken; cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned.
  • 2
    Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In cooker, mix chicken and remaining ingredients except peas and noodles.
  • 3
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 hours 30 minutes to 7 hours.
  • 4
    Stir in peas and frozen noodles. Cover; cook on Low heat setting about 10 minutes longer or until noodles are tender.

  • Home-style noodles add old-fashioned appeal to this soup but you can use a cup of uncooked dried fine egg noodles instead.
  • Chicken thighs are ideal for long, slow cooking because the rich, dark meat doesn’t dry out, as does leaner white meat such as chicken breasts.
