We’re already halfway through February and the snow continues. When is winter ever going to end?! I suppose being cooped up at home has it’s perks. One of them includes being surrounded by loved ones over a comforting meal! This past weekend, we had a post Valentine’s Day luncheon with both my parents and The Baron’s parents where we all enjoyed a feast of Filipino dishes. I’ll be sharing the recipes that were prepared all this week so stay tuned! For our starter course, we warmed up to this Creamy Chicken Macaroni Soup. This is more fondly known as Filipino Sopas where macaroni noodles, chicken breast, and a melange of aromatic vegetables simmer in a creamy chicken broth before garnishing with chopped egg and green onions.
My mom has been making this soup since I was young and given the cold weather we’ve been having, she included this dish as part of our luncheon menu. To me, this is the comforting chicken noodle soup that comes to mind since it’s what I had growing up. There are other variations to this soup since everyone makes it a bit differently with their own twist, but nothing comes close to how my mom prepares it. She just has that type of magic…
{Filipino Sopas}
3 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, finely diced
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound {GF} elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets, cooked and finely shredded
Who knows when this cold will end, in the mean time at least we have your soup to warm up with!
Love the creaminess of this soup. Soup always feels more luxurious when it is creamy. It's perfect for these cold winter nights.
Creamy and definitely dreamy. I'd love to slurp a giant bowl of this in front of the fire.
I am always looking for a good soup recipe!
I would love to try this one soon! It looks delicious! Thanks for sharing your Mum's magic :o)
