You didn't say what sort of noodles you have, but this is one of my daughter's favorites: I make 2 cans of tomato soup (with milk) and add a package of steamed mixed veggies and egg noodles. She gobbles it up every time!

I cook the noodles, sometimes add a can of mushrooms and a pound of ground beef and stir in a can of condensed mushroom soup. Don't add any water, just add the can in it's condensed form.
I like to boil the noodles, and after you drain them , add margarine or butter, parmesan cheese, and a touch of black pepper...yum!
Oops, sorry....they're wide egg noodles. Keep those ideas coming and remember, NO meat. Thanks!
*regular noodles with sauce of pesto or alfredo besides marinara
