2019 Note by Marcy: I watched mom make it. Secret ingredient: gravy. We didn't have any leftover so i made from packet(Knorrs)
2012 Note: I make this with leftover roasted chicken too. This time I used the regular soup (not fat free) and I used rigatoni noodles (big and thick). And I added one hot Hot New Mexico chili. Amy said it was the best yet!
Note:
To substitute Campbell's soup... Use
1 tablespoon flour
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper, to taste
Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. When melted, whisk in the flour and continue whisking until smooth and bubbly. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Return to the heat and bring to a gentle boil, whisking constantly, until the soup thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Max said her mother used to serve this over mashed potatoes?but we both agreed, it was too much starch!
