Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a lighter cream cheese or adding a splash of milk while heating the soup. If you prefer a bit more heat, increase the Tabasco sauce to taste. You can substitute the white tuna with canned salmon for a different flavor profile or use a gluten-free noodle option if needed. This dish also makes a great filling for a Shrimp Potato Boat.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, warm it gently in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of milk if it appears too thick. This will help maintain its creamy consistency. Avoid microwaving, as it can change the texture.
