AZ's Creamy Soup

I am terrible at coming up with names for my original recipes. I'll write them down in my cookbook as "best chili ever" or something. But today, I made the most wonderful creamy soup. I'm going to give the recipe here, and hopefully will get feedback from you good people on what I should call it. It's SO easy and fast to make! That's me, after all; fast, cheap and easy.

1 12 oz package of egg noodles, but don't cook them all the way, since they will need to simmer a bit with the rest of the ingredients. Drain and set aside
2 TBS minced garlic (I buy it by the jar as I don't want to spend time mincing garlic)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder (or 1 cup chopped frozen onions, whichever you prefer)
1 can chicken
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can great northern or navy beans
3 cups milk
1/2 cup white wine
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
a few squirts of Tabasco, but, that's just me, as I think everything needs Tabasco
8 oz sour cream
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Combine boiled noodles with everything else, stir on low until cheese is melted.

What about the kids' rooms? Did they ever get cleaned up? Are they now electronics-free? Details!

They are indeed electronics-free. And I am sticking to my guns no matter the whining and moaning. :-)

The soup sounds yummy (except for the Tabasco-which Brian would like but me, not so much). I think I'll make a steaming pot-o-soup for tonight's supper. I'll use your recipe but change it up a bit to suit my family's preferences.
I love to have soup simmering in my kitchen kettle on a blustery winter afternoon. Can you believe this weather?! Seventy-two degrees yesterday and today, snow flurries in the forecast!
Yikes!
Nash is really interested in how the room-cleaning situation plays out. We'll be staring down the same scenario ourselves before you know it.

Yumm-O. I'll be trying that one after my next trip outta the house for provisions. Some of the snow and ice has melted, and I did hear some birdsong over the past couple of days, but the arctic wind has kicked up! Brrrr!

My goodness! Is this a soup or a dip?!! It sounds thick!

I'll have to pass this time my dear, as I don't eat chicken. I'm sure that it's fabulous though!

AZ, sounds so yummy, why don't you just call it AZ soup? TY, maybe you could substitute another soup like cream of celery or asparagus. Or just add more mushroom soup.
