To make Chicken Sopas, you'll need the following ingredients: 0.5 1/2 pieces of chicken breast, 2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 piece of onion, 0.25 1/4 cups of pasta, 0.25 1/4 cups of carrot, 1 sachet of MAGGI® Magic Sarap® 8g, and 0.5 1/2 cups of cabbage.
Let's dive into the cooking process! Start by boiling the chicken breast in a pot with 2 cups of water. This will create a flavorful chicken broth that will serve as the base for your soup. Allow the chicken to cook until it is tender and fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In the same pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion, sautéing them until they become fragrant and golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that will make your mouth water in anticipation.
Next, add the pasta, carrot, and shredded chicken to the pot. These ingredients will add heartiness and texture to the soup. Stir everything together to ensure that the flavors are well distributed and every spoonful is packed with deliciousness.
Now it's time to season the Chicken Sopas. Add the MAGGI® Magic Sarap® sachet to the pot.
This special seasoning will enhance the flavors of the soup, adding a savory and delightful taste that will make your taste buds dance with joy. Give everything a good stir to incorporate the seasoning and let the flavors meld together.
Allow the soup to simmer for a few minutes until the pasta is cooked al dente and the flavors have fully developed. The aroma will be irresistible, making you eager to dive into a bowl of this comforting goodness.
Finally, add the cabbage to the pot and let it cook for a few more minutes until it becomes tender. The cabbage will add a fresh and vibrant element to the soup, balancing out the richness of the broth and other ingredients. It will also provide a satisfying crunch that adds to the overall texture of the dish.
Once everything is cooked to perfection, it's time to serve the Chicken Sopas. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with some chopped spring onions or parsley for an extra burst of freshness and color. The vibrant green garnish will make the dish even more visually appealing and appetizing.
Chicken Sopas is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a snack. It pairs well with bread or can be enjoyed on its own.
