Sopas

Sopas is know as Chicken Macaroni Soup in English. This dish is best serve during cold and rainy weather. Moms would make chicken soups when their kids are not feeling well because of flu. This is because hot soup can help loosen congestion caused by colds and it also keeps them hydrated. Kids will love the flavor and wont mind to eat some of the vegetables in the recipe which helps them feel better. My version of Sopas has lots of cheese and I added mushroom to it. You can use any type of pasta for your sopas or add some of your favorite veggies like cauliflower or broccoli. You may add boiled quails eggs or sliced hard boiled eggs to this dish and chopped spring onions before serving.
