Could someone break this down grammatically for me?

One thing that I'd really miss is my mom's cooking.

Subject: One thing

verb: miss

noun: mom's cooking

Is that right?  oNe more thing...what's the difference between a noun and a subject?  Isn't a subject a noun?

one thing =subject

that I would really miss = restrictive relative clause, noun clause, appositive, modifies (define) the subject.

is = linking verb

my mom's cooking is the subject complement

It is called adjective relative clause that modifies one thing .

A noun can be a subject but a subject is not always be a noun. For example, a subject  can be a noun clause as well.

actually "one thing I"d really miss" is the noun phrase acting as the subject of the sentence
the verb : is
