Notes
- Chicken breast: Chicken breasts are great for sopas. However, you can also use boneless thighs. In my experience, it is more moist compared to the breast.
- This can either be boiled and shredded afterwards. If you are in a hurry, simply dice the chicken and saute this with the aromatics in step 4.
- Cabbage: I am using regular cabbage for this recipe. You can also use Napa cabbage as an alternative. I usually cut it in half and remove the hard part in the center. I then slice it into strips.
- Celery: This is an optional ingredient. On a personal note, I mostly make my sopas with it. Simply chop it or slice it crosswise thinly.
- Onion: Use either yellow or white onion for this recipe. You can mince it or dice it.
- Hotdog: Filipino chicken sopas is traditionally cooked with red hotdogs. These is a Filipino thing since you can only find this in Filipino/Asian stores here in the US. Feel free to use franks, weiners, and even chicken hotdog.
- Carrots: You can use fresh or frozen carrots for this. Fresh shredded carrots are also available in supermarkets. You may use this too.
- Chicken cube: This ingredient provides flavor to the dish. You can use chicken powder or replace water with either chicken broth or chicken stock too.
