Amish Chive Noodles Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient. My aunt cooks the best spring comfort dish ever. Just 4 simple ingredients make this yummy, tasty meal fast!
This easy slow cooker Amish chive noodle dish is like my aunt’s special recipe for those in-between weather days—warm or cool. It’s creamy, full of flavor, and feels snug yet fresh with green chives. It comes from plain Amish butter noodles: soft, curvy egg noodles cooked in buttery soup till shiny and soft, topped with lots of green chives. All done in the slow cooker—great for busy nights with no fuss or many items.
Scoop these straight from the cooker with extra buttery yellow broth in every bowl. Eat alone as a warm veggie main, or add roast chicken, pork, or sausage for meat. Pair with green salad or steamed broccoli, peas, or beans to cut the richness. Crusty bread soaks up the tasty broth, and it reheats well for lunch with a bit more liquid.

Servings: 4
Ingredients
-
8 cups low-salt chicken broth
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter without salt, cut into chunks
-
16 ounces wide curvy egg noodles (dry)
-
1 cup chopped fresh chives (plus more for topping, if you want)
Amish Chive Noodles Slow Cooker: Directions
-
Put chicken broth and butter chunks in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and heat on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until hot and butter melts fully on top.
-
Mix the warm broth and melted butter into a shiny yellow base. This gives noodles their yummy taste and glow.
-
Add dry wide egg noodles, push them gently into the liquid so most are under. Some may poke out—they’ll sink as they cook.
-
Put the lid on and cook on high for 20 to 30 minutes. Stir softly every 8 to 10 minutes for even cooking and no sticking. Done when thick, soft, wavy, not soggy, with a bit of yellow broth left for sauce.
-
Switch to WARM. Fold in chopped chives till noodles are dotted green and steam shines up.
-
Taste and add a tiny pinch of salt if needed (if broth is super low-salt). Serve hot from cooker, spoon broth over each bowl, and top with extra chives if you like.
