Note

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk if the soup has thickened too much.

Ingredient Substitutions: You can use any canned fish such as tuna, salmon, or shrimp. For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and sour cream with coconut milk or a plant-based alternative.

Tips: If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend part of the soup before adding the macaroni. Adjust the amount of mustard and Worcestershire sauce to taste for more tanginess.

Variations: Add other vegetables like peas or carrots for extra nutrition. A dash of paprika or thyme can enhance the flavor profile.
