Creamy Chicken Noodle soup

I am marking this entry as educational.... because I truly hope I learned something today...
I make this yummy, creamy chicken noodle soup.... something I've not made in a couple years at least cause it has so many carbs with all the noodles I put in it...
But awhile back I bought the stuff I needed to make it cause I wanted to have some as a farewell sort of deal prior to surgery.
At some point in my future, I know I can make a healthier, no pasta version, but i wanted to make a pot of the 'normal' kind, like i said, to say good bye too!
So, I made this pot of it... OMG did I make a lot!! I didn't mean to, its just one of those things that kinda get away from you when you are cooking!
But I put the recipe into my food tracker, so everything I ate is accounted for. Turned out to not be so bad calorie wise as I thought...
I regress.... the lesson to be learned here tonight is to NEVER eat two bowls of my soup! I use to eat two bowls all the time... years ago! Heck, then sometimes go back for a third later on...
I cannot do that any more!! I am so full I feel sick! I've not done this to myself in a long time... and I hope its the LAST TIME!! Forever more!!
I do plan on, some day, quite awhile from now... like years... to be able to have very small amounts of some of the normally off limits foods.... Like my soup... but only a very very small amount!
But today was just nuts!!
Neither my hubby or youngest son will eat my soup (they are not pasta eaters...) but I am hoping when my middle son gets home from work he will fall in love with this soup and eat it up!! Like for the next week... cause there is a TON of it! :) He is 25 and tall and slim... he can handle the carbs! LOL!
Lesson learned! (I hope!)

sounds pretty good. I\'m not a noodle person either. The wife would love it.
