Directions
This is a great way to use up leftover home made soup or the rest of a can of soup.
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Cook the noodles until just barely tender, slightly under as the cooking will finish in the oven. Drain thoroughly.
In a medium pot heat the soup over medium heat. Add the thyme, celery, green pepper, water chestnuts and scallions.
Once beginning to boil turn off the heat and add ½ the cheese, stir until melted then add the yogurt (sour cream or mayo), noodles and tuna and stir gently until combined. Season with black pepper if desired.
Transfer to to 1 quart casserole dish.
Sprinkle top with remaining grated cheddar cheese and almonds.
Bake for about 20 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned.
