How to Make Slow Cooker Amish Tomato Noodle Soup Step by Step
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about five minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for one additional minute.

- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for six to seven hours or on high for three to four hours. This allows the flavors to blend beautifully.
- About thirty minutes before serving, add the egg noodles directly into the slow cooker. Stir gently to ensure the noodles are fully submerged in the broth.
- Continue cooking until the noodles are tender but not overcooked. Stir occasionally during the final cooking period to prevent sticking.
