I grew up on Campbell's® chicken soups but my favorite was the NoodleO's®. Mainly due to the manageable size noodle for the spoon but also because the texture of the noodle was firmer and not mushy like the others. As an adult, I set out to make a copycat version and it took several attempts before getting it right. My previous attempts lacked the tang that you get with a can and the secret ingredient ended up being lemon juice. Who would have thought? Serve with crackers if desired.

I've never been a big fan of beets, but in certain things, like borscht, I love them. With that simple soup as an inspiration, I thought the flavors would work nicely with the rich, fatty short ribs, and they sure did.
