When I make my favorite chicken noodle soup, I find it tastes better if I refrigerate the soup without the noodles. When it's time to serve, I add the noodles to the amount of soup I'm going to use and cook them until tender. —Martha Dimitch, Nineveh, IndianaRefrigerate Chicken Soup without Noodles

"I knew this recipe was a keeper when my mother-in-law asked for it!" relates Marty Matthews in Clarksville, Tennessee. The hearty soup, chock-full of leftover ham, veggies and cheese, is creamy and comforting.

- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1-1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Directions

- Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add the milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cheese until melted. Stir into undrained potato mixture. Add ham and peas; heat through. Yield: 7 servings.
Nutrition Facts: 1 cup (prepared with fat-free milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, reduced-fat cheese and lean ham) equals 281 calories, 15 g fat (9 g saturated fat), 53 mg cholesterol, 798 mg sodium, 20 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber, 19 g protein.
