    If you aren't a fan of canned soups, use a homemade white sauce and sautéed mushrooms in place of the soups.

      We have some texture issues here, as well as several food intolerances. So mealtime is always a challenge. I put the onion and bell pepper in the blender with the soups and milk and made a puree, and cut the amount of cheese and noodles in half. My older son said it was "okay" because he's not a fan of even a few spaghetti noodles (it's the texture; I may use another kind of pasta next time), but my younger son loved it! There are so few things that all three of us can eat, so this is definitely a keeper!

        I'm glad you liked it! It's a great idea to make a puree for texture issues, and I love changing out different styles of pasta when I make things (I particularly like small, hearty pasta).
