Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

By 183 Comments

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 place mat too. To do otherwise? Well, that would be absurd.

Enjoy!

  95. Chicken Soup can be a perfect dish for a kinds of things. My favorites are on a brrr could night. When my honey or grandchildren don’t feel good. Or, just because I am in the mood for it. It is great made all kinds of ways. Yours sounds really good. Have to make it this way now.

  97. Your placemat is really cute, and I love the story behind it. Your soup looks good, too. I’m in the habit of making chicken stock fairly often, so I’m lucky enough that I could start with some of that from my freezer. I find that cooking pasta in the stock gives it a wonderful richness and flavor.

  125. I love home made chicken noodle soup. I have to laugh because my son was invited to have “homemade” chicken noodle soup at some people’s house and when he got there they served him Ramen noodles (the instant ones) he was so disappointed. So, he said when he gets home in 18 months he wants REAL home made chicken noodle soup!
