Mom used to make this for hubby and I when we would travel to visit since it was filling and could be ready and waiting for us. I've experimented with her recipe and come up with a few variations this is our favorite.

    20 min's before dinner time add the macaroni and stir to make sure the macaroni doesn't sink and stick, stir occasionally til macaroni is done. Just before serving add a teaspoon of butter and a little of any herbs and/or spices you used.

    We like to have this with fresh crescent rolls that I'll add a half of a slice of cheese before rolling.

    I've made this soup adding beef gravy mix for more of a beef flavor. Try also: add fresh diced tomato just before serving for more sweetness - add sour cream for more of a tang - add shredded cheese for saltiness and creaminess
