Looking for a good home-made crockpot chicken noodle soup recipe, any not-so-secret recipies?

chicken noodle soup can be made pretty much however you want...recipe or not. Everyone makes it differently I'm sure. I basically just put together some water, chicken broth (or cubed/powdered bullion), noodles, chopped chicken %26amp; whatever vegetables desired, if any. I usually just put carrots %26amp; celery in mine. Then add whatever seasonings you want for flavor %26amp; let it all simmer in a crockpot for a while until the noodles %26amp; chicken are thoroughly cooked...especially the chicken. If you want to add some dumplings in it, just take those pre-made biscuits from the can like you would find at the grocery store %26amp; cut into cubes. Making it homemade is always better for you because there isn't nearly as much sodium (salt) %26amp; preservatives as you would find in canned soup.....and you can make it to your tastes! Enjoy :-)Looking for a good home-made crockpot chicken noodle soup recipe, any not-so-secret recipies?
