Ingredients

2–3 pounds - chicken parts
8 cups - low sodium chicken stock
1 - onion
3 cloves - garlic
4 - carrots
4 stalks - celery
2 - leeks
½ tsp - dried thyme
2 - bay leaves
1 tsp - kosher salt
2 cups - pasta
pepper
fresh parsley
crackers

Instructions

Place the first 10 ingredients in a slower cooker and set to low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours (the soup can remain in the slow cooker up to 8 hours on low at this point).
After the soup has cooked for 3 hours (on high) or 5 hours (on low) remove the chicken from the slow cooker and set aside.
Add the pasta into the slow cooker and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until tender. Do no overcook as the noodles will get soggy.
While the pasta is cooking, remove the bones if necessary and shred the chicken into bite size pieces and add back into the soup.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with crackers if desired.
