Creamy Chicken Sopas Recipe (Filipino Chicken Macaroni Soup Recipe)




Creamy Chicken Sopas (Filipino Chicken Macaroni Soup)


INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 boneless, skinless Chicken breasts, cooked then shredded (or sliced thinly)
  • 1 1/2-2 cups uncooked Macaroni Noodles
  • 3 tablespoons, Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 Garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 medium Carrots, sliced diagonally
  • 2 Celery stalks, sliced diagonally
  • 8-10 cups low socidum Chicken broth,*
  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • Fish sauce, 1 Tablespoon or to taste
  • 1/2 head of a small cabbage, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (12 oz) can Evaporated milk or 8 oz Half and Half
  • Green Onions, chopped for garnish
*You can just use Rotisserie chicken too, shredded - about 2 cups.
* You can use the water/liquid where Chicken was boiled in. This is what we usually use in the Philippines as pre-made Chicken broth are not readily available.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Boil the chicken breasts until tender and cooked. When cool enough to handle shred with a fork or with your hands. Retain the liquid where it was boiled (if not using chicken broth). Strain if necessary. Set aside. 
  2. Boil enough water for the pasta. Cook the macaroni al dente (not mushy, still retaining some bite). While waiting for the pasta water to boil, prepare the vegetables.
  3. In a large pan, heat the oil. Saute the onions, garlic, celery and carrots until the onions become translucent and the vegetables are tender about 5 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  4. Stir in the shredded chicken. Add the broth (or water). Season with some fish sauce, if using or just more salt, to taste. Bring to a boil. Add the cabbage, cooked macaroni and evaporated milk and cook for another 2-3 minutes or just until the cabbage leaves are soft. Adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls. Garnish with some chopped Green Onions, if you wish to. Enjoy!
