There is nothing like having a bowl of hot Creamy Chicken Sopas to make you feel warm and comfy on a cold day, especially during this time when the temperature outside starts to get chilly. This recipe should be able to help you cook a delicious sopas that you can serve to the entire family.
This Creamy Chicken Sopas Recipe makes use of boneless chicken breasts and hot dogs. You may use bone-in chicken breast with skin too. Just make sure to remove the bones later on while you are shredding the meat. The hotdogs are nice to have. It also helps makes the dish look colorful and festive.
It is important for chicken sopas to be flavorful and have that nice solid chicken taste. This is one of the reasons why I am using chicken cube for this recipe. The evaporated milk, on the other hand, makes this soup dish rich and creamy; it also a distinctive ingredient that makes Filipino chicken macaroni sopas unique from other chicken noodle soups.
I recommend that you try to consume your sopas in one sitting. If there are leftovers, chances are that the macaroni will absorb the liquid overtime. You will have a bloated macaroni noodle dish the next day with almost no liquid left. You can add more water and milk, but this can make the macaroni soggy.

I used Margarine instead of cooking oil. Or corned beef instead of chicken. But your version is ok too. Kanya kanyang way of cooking sopas.
Alli Hall says
Just keep the noodles separate and only add when ready to eat!! Then you can have chicken noodle for days
Benjie says
If you use corned beef instead of chicken it’s not chicken sopas anymore. It’s called corned beef sopas.

My girl was craving sopas and I found this recipe. We added chicken broth vs water with cayenne pepper because we enjoy a little spicy with our soup. She loved it and I got some points.
