Put the chicken in a large slow cooker. Top with the carrots, celery, zucchini, broth, water, bay leaves, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, pepper and salt. -
Cook, covered, on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. -
Transfer the chicken to a large cutting board. Discard the bay leaves. Stir in the dill. Turn off the heat. Let the soup stand, covered, to keep warm. -
Meanwhile, prepare the egg noodles using the package directions. -
When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it into bite-size pieces. Stir it into the soup. -
Place the noodles in serving bowls. Ladle the soup over the noodles.
Keep it Healthy: Instead of salting the cooking water when you prepare noodles and pasta, try flavoring it with dried Italian seasoning, other herbs, salt-free lends, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a bay leaf (be sure to discard the bay leaf before serving the food).
Tip: To store leftovers, keep the soup and noodles separate. Otherwise, the noodles will soak up all the broth.
