Chicken noodle soup (Sopas)
Description
The recipe starts by boiling chicken breast or legs in water to make a flavorful broth, then shredding the cooked meat. Aromatics such as garlic and onion are sautéed in butter, to which the chicken and macaroni noodles are added and cooked briefly. The chicken broth is poured in and the mixture is brought to a boil before adding vegetables like carrots, bell pepper, and optionally celery to soften gently.
Once the noodles are al dente, evaporated milk and sliced Vienna sausage are stirred in, enriching the soup with creaminess and a hint of savory meatiness. The soup is simmered until fully cooked and slightly thickened. Finally, chopped cabbage is added and allowed to soften from residual heat off the stove, imparting mild sweetness and a slight crunch.
Serve the soup hot as a comforting meal, especially suitable for cooler days. The combination of vegetables, tender chicken, and noodles provides balance and substance. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper according to taste before serving.

Instructions
- Boil chicken breast in water with a little salt and pepper. Once cooked, remove from the stock and shred meat into smaller pieces using two forks.
- In a pot, sauté garlic and onion in butter until tender. Add the chicken meat and noodles and cook for 5 minutes stirring from time to time to avoid burning the noodles.
