Chicken Sopas
(I made a smaller serving size, but you can double ingredients to make it a family size. This soup recipe can also be adjusted to your personal taste.)
Ingredients:
2-3 pieces chicken thighs
½ head small cabbage, sliced
½ medium yellow onion, diced
2 pieces hotdog, diced
1-2 carrots, diced
1 cup elbow macaroni
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil
½ cup of milk
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a medium pot, add the chicken breasts and cover with water. Cook in medium heat for 20-30 minutes (depending on size).
- Separate the chicken from broth. Let the chicken cool down and then shred. Set both shredded chicken and broth aside.
- Heat oil in a large soup pot. Sauté the garlic and onion till it's translucent in color. Add in carrot as well as salt and pepper for seasoning. Continue to sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken and hotdog pieces. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Then pour in chicken broth and let boil.
- Add macaroni and cook for 10-15 minutes (or until macaroni is tender).
- Add cabbage next. Stir and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in milk and bring to a simmer.
- Serve and Enjoy :)
