Chicken Sopas Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chicken Sopas is a soup dish filled with diced or shredded boneless chicken meat and elbow macaroni noodles. This chicken soup is a common breakfast or snack food among Filipino families particularly during the rainy season. Since this is a family favorite, most Filipino families have their own treasured Chicken Sopas recipe. I’m guessing that some recipes might even be passed from generation to generation.

The difference of Chicken Sopas from other traditional chicken soups is the use of milk. Fresh or even evaporated milk is added to the soup along with the chicken and different vegetables for a richer flavor. The addition of other meats such as diced hotdogs or luncheon meat in some recipes can also be considered as one of the factors that make this soup dish different from the traditional ones. I, for one, have tried almost all the versions of this dish (I even tried one recipe that makes use of chicken liver) and they were all great.

This particular recipe is one of the simplest recipes that I tried. I shot the video during our 3 day camping adventure at Indiana Dunes. In order to save some time and avoid a lot of mess, I used diced boneless chicken meat and chicken broth rather than deriving stock by boiling bone-in chicken. The taste is pretty much the same but you can save more money if you do it the traditional way: boiling bone-in chicken to make chicken stock and manually removing the meat from the bones.

By the way, the noodles and vegetables may vary depending on the recipe. Feel free to use the appropriate vegetables that you desire.

    I never use salt for my sopas. I only salt it with patis. Also, I add 1-2 bay leaves.

    I really enjoy visiting your site whenever I cook for the family or friends. Your recipes with the videos make it so easy to follow for novices like me. I used to be able to view the videos with my iPhone or iPad but recently it doesn’t play anymore from your site. The videos makes your recipe easy to follow and having it play on a mobile device makes it even more convenient and efficient. Hope you can look into this. Thanks and more power to Panlasang Pinoy.
