Mom’s Chicken Noodle Soup

My Mom has been making this chicken noodle soup recipe for as long as I can remember.  She and I both believe that when cold and flu season hits nothing is better at making you feel better than a nice big bowl of chicken noodle soup.  We have had several cold and various illnesses this winter and this is the 3rd time we (or should I say my Mom) has made this soup for us.  I was finally able to pin her down so I could take pictures of the process and share this wonderful recipe.  Sick or not it’s so good!!!!
