To continue with my soup recipes, this one is similar to chicken noodle soup but cooked in a slow cooker (Affiliate Link). It's easy, and everyone, even the kids, loved it. The leeks were used, but you can use onion if you prefer. I also tried fennel instead of celery, but if you want to use celery, that works too.

Fideo is a "small" pieces of spaghetti for soups. It's usually near the orzo and star pasta.
