My apologies, then. This is a topic on which I tend to be perhaps a little
too sensitive.

Considerably. Thank you for the explanation.

I tried something different at lunch today. De Nola says that noodles in
chicken broth are good with grated cheese. I happened to have some
homemade chicken noodle soup on hand, and I tried sprinkling it with
Manchego cheese, which is a sharp Spanish sheep's-milk cheese. It
was very good. I did not add the almond milk (or goat's milk) that the
recipe calls for, but it is listed as an optional ingredient. I had feared
that almond milk would make the soup too bland, but considering the
sharpness of the cheese, I don't think that would be a problem. I think it
would give a nice balance to the flavor (and the creamier texture would
be nice, too). However, next time I will continue to omit sugar, which is
also an optional ingredient. :-)
