Lemony Pesto Chicken Noodle Soup

I make this Lemony Pesto Chicken Noodle Soup whenever I need a comforting and hassle-free meal. Packed with colorful vegetables, homestyle fresh egg noodles and fragrant herbs, this soup is wholesome and helps support your well-being. Just load up all the ingredients into your slow cooker, set it and forget it for a flavorful, delicious and nourishing dinner.

Because the base of this soup is chicken broth, use one that is delicious on its own, whether homemade or store-bought. Make-ahead tip: Without the noodles and pesto, this soup can be made and refrigerated for up to 5 days. Add the noodles and pesto when reheating the soup. Serve each steaming bowl of this warming soup topped with shaved Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped dill for a hearty, comforting dinner. Enjoy!
