Rich and Creamy Chicken Sopas – Filipino Macaroni Chicken Soup

There are many ways to cook Filipino macaroni chicken sopas. This Rich and Creamy Chicken Sopas version is one way of doing it. Expect a tasty chicken noodle soup once you are done cooking using this recipe.

Rich and Creamy Chicken Sopas make use of both butter and evaporated milk. These are the two components that make it rich and creamy. Butter can be omitted if you do not prefer to have this ingredient.

Aromatics are also important for this soup to smell and taste good. I am referring to carrots, celery, and onion. Make sure that these ingredients are cooked properly to ensure optimal results. The aroma and flavors are extracted when these are sautéed in butter and bacon fat. Make sure to cook these until soft and fragrant before adding the chicken.

Let’s talk about the chicken used for this recipe. I made use of rotisserie chicken. We all know how tasty this is (just like our favorite lechon manok). Your chicken sopas will be really flavorful if this is used compared to raw chicken. This is only a suggestion on my end though, the final decision is yours.

Rich and Creamy Chicken Sopas is perfect to have during cold weather. I love to make this during winter time because it keeps me warm. It is also good to have when it is raining outside. You can binge watch your favorite TV series while enjoying your chicken sopas on a cold day. Wouldn’t it be perfect?
