Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup

This was sooooo good! I've never made homemade chicken noodle soup before and I was super excited about how it turned out. Someday I'll try to make homemade noodles to go with it :)

5 cups chicken broth
1 12.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
1 15 oz can whole kernel corn, drained
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cups Egg noodles
1 chicken breast

1. Remove fat from chicken and place in crock pot along with all of the other ingredients except the noodles.
2. Let cook in crock pot on low for 5-6 hours.
3. After chicken is cooked through, remove and shred.
4. Add noodles fro the last hour and turn on high.

3-14oz cans of chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 tsp pepper
1 8oz package softened cream cheese (not fat free)

grated cheese
bacon bits
diced green onion

1. Add everything to the crockpot except the cream cheese.
