Filipino Chicken Macaroni “Sopas” Soup

Chicken Macaroni Sopas is a rich chicken noodle soup dish. You can either mix it to any of the following: chicken liver, ham or hot dogs. Nieves recommends using chicken liver as it adds a nice flavour.

Ingredients:

1 lb. chicken, skin removed

2 ounces ham chopped (or chicken liver or hot dogs)

2 cups elbow macaroni pasta

4 stalks celery, cubed

1 medium yellow onion, minced

1 large carrot, diced

1 ½ cups chopped cabbage

1 cup chicken broth

6 to 8 cups water

1 ½ cup fresh milk or 1 -14 oz. can evaporated milk

3 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper to taste

2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved

Green onions, chopped

Instructions:

Bring the water to a boil.

Add the chicken. Boil the chicken in low to medium heat for 45 minutes or until tender.

Remove the chicken and let cool. Set-aside the water used to boil the chicken. We'll use this later.

Once the chicken cools, shred the meat using your hands.

Meanwhile, heat a clean large cooking pot.

Melt the butter and sauté the onion, carrot, and celery for 3 minutes.

Add the shredded chicken and chopped ham (or chicken liver or hot dogs). Cook for 2 minutes.

Pour in the chicken broth and the remaining water used to boil the chicken. Stir and let boil. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the elbow macaroni. Cook for 15 minutes. Add more water if needed.

Pour-in the milk. Stir and let boil.

Add salt and pepper to adjust the taste.

Enjoy!
