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.

Toffee Sauce
This is a great sauce for ice cream topping, or for a fruit fondue. Can also be used for topping cakes, as it thickens when it cools. Serve warm over ice cream, or place in fondue pot over low heat to keep warm and dip apples, pears, pineapple, strawberries, bananas, and orange wedges.
