Why you’ll love this creamy noodle soup recipe:

- Healthy: Despite this soup being creamy, we used coconut milk to make it that way so it’s healthier than using things like half and half or whipping cream

Ingredient Notes:
Pasta: You can use lasagna noodles broken up in this soup recipe, or you can use any noodle of your choice like elbow noodles.
Mushrooms: The Portobello mushrooms add a meatiness to this soup recipe that’s so good. They also pack a nutritional punch as they have key vitamins, can help boost your immunity, and are considered a superfood.
Garlic: You’ll notice this creamy soup uses a lot of garlic which is great for flavor, but also great for your health as garlic has its own super powers. It’s especially great for your immune system which is needed during winter aka cold and flu season.
