Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Casserole

This easy homemade chicken noodle soup casserole can be made in the crock pot, in the instant pot or in the oven. It’s healthy, simple to pull together and can be made using shredded chicken or a rotisserie chicken picked up from the grocery store.

Nothing warms the home and soul like a robust chicken noodle soup when it becomes a CASSEROLE. This dish is sturdy enough to stand alone, or be served with a warm bread and side salad.

Trust me, it gets into all the nooks and crannies and leaves the family completely fulfilled!
