This easy homemade chicken noodle soup recipe was inspired by a chicken place mat. True statement.
When I was visiting my son at Christmas, he showed me a set of chicken place mats he had found at the dollar store, and he asked me if I wanted one since they came in a package of two.
Funny how the simplest things can touch my heart, but doggone it, that place mat meant the world to me because it came from my son, and I brought it home happily.
So when I was thinking of making soup one day, the chicken place mat came to mind, and this easy homemade chicken noodle soup recipe was born.
Naturally, I had to serve the soup on the chicken placemat too. To do otherwise? Well, that would be absurd.
