  1. Cooked this for a workplace lunch. It was delicious. I did add a bit more water to it after adding the noodles at it was quite thick. Definitely be making it again.

    This was delicious! As above, I added a little extra water – about half a cup I think? – with the noodles, just to make it a bit more soupy. Even hubby who is not a fan of “chunky” soups (preferring creamy, blended soups instead) loved it, and would happily have it again. Very impressed, and will be making this again for sure.

  3. Oh my, this is a lovely soup. Agree with other comments that is thick, but I prefer it that way
    It is so flavoursome. Great winter soup
    Could not be easier
    Thank you for the recipe

  4. Didn’t add the spaghetti & overdosed (accidentally) the sesame oil but super delicious

      Chicken breasts would certainly cook and shred in much less time but you could swap the two and I’d probably reduce the time down to more like 4-5hrs max with breast myself

  5. Love this soup! I have made it a few times – tried with drumsticks and breasts – both are great. I too, added extra water due to the thickness.

    This was made as my hubby not feeling well and I thought I would try a soup. It was so good and he loved it! Will definitely make this again. As recommended I bought some fresh crusty bread

    I know it says longer the better but has anyone used the recipe on high and still had a great result?

    Also could I use a roast chicken bit pulled apart?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central April 13, 2022

      It would change it yes, but I think it would still be yummy 🙂

    Could you substitute the sesame oil for some other oil?
    And does not having parsley make a big difference? Thanks!

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central August 17, 2022

      The sesame oil is more for flavour than oil so you wouldn’t need to swap it for a different oil. Leaving out parsley again is just a small flavour difference 🙂

    This soup was delicious!
    I made this soup for our church winter dvd series (soup and sandwiches).
    I doubled the recipe, left out the parsley and sesame oil.
    Changed the leek for diced onion.
    I also added extra water on top (didn’t use salt reduced as I wanted to add the extra water)
    I had two nearly full slow cookers and it still all went, some people having 3 or 4 cup fulls!
    Thanks for the great recipe, will definitely be making again!

  10. hi would chicken breast change anything and if you used it would the method change

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central May 15, 2023

    Comfort food in a bowl. Hubby going back for seconds. YUMMO he said giving it a 10/10.
    NOTE: I added 1/2 teaspoon each dried mixed herbs & thyme I used chicken thigh fillets. Sc in my GreenPan sc on low for 6 hours.

  15. This soup is delicious I stick to the recipe except I use thigh and don’t add parsley it’s a winner 🥇

    Delicious. I used left over rice instead of spaghetti, otherwise didn’t change anything else. Will definitely be making again:-)

    DELICIOUS 😋
    I added extra water to taste and udon noodles instead of the pasta. The leftovers tasted even better the following day. This is a firm fave in my house!

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central April 13, 2026

      Hooray!! This makes me so happy to read 🙂 Thanks Kaz x

    Another yummy meal. I used diced chicken thighs and reduced the cooking time to 6 hours. Hubby said it tasted just like the chicken and corn soup from our local Chinese restaurant!! Definitely cooking it again.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central June 3, 2026

      That’s a great compliment to your cooking! Thanks for sharing Kate 🙂
