Grandma Johnson's Chicken Noodle Soup

This is my favorite chicken noodle soup recipe!! My mom actually got this recipe from the cutest older lady that lived just down the street from us while I was growing up. Grandma Johnson as I will call her, is such a sweet and classy older lady and I always looked up to her when I was growing up. That is why I am calling this Grandma Johnson's Chicken Noodle Soup since it is her recipe and I must give credit where credit is due! I made this Chicken Noodle Soup this past Saturday and took it to a church function, in which I received many compliments! I love making this soup when the weather turns crisp and chilly. I like serving this soup on top of mashed potatoes or even paired up with a nice slice of homemade wheat or white bread topped with butter and homemade jam! This is always a kid friendly dish. My kids love that I use those big fat homemade noodles that you buy in the store. Look for them in bags down the pasta aisle! Hope this becomes a favorite at your home!
