• ½ chopped onion.
• 6 cups of water or more
• 1 pound bone-in chicken thigh( its skin should be pilled off)

• 1 pinch of salt and ground black pepper

• ½ (16 ounces) package elbow macaroni
• 4 teaspoons of chicken bouillon granules
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
• 2 tablespoons of fish sauce.




Instructions

Step 1.

• Reduce heat to a medium level and continue heating.
• Simmer the broth for about 30 minutes (until the chicken thighs are tender).

Step 2.

• Remove the chicken, and then to the remaining broth, add the diced carrots.
• Randomly add the 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, black pepper, and chicken bouillon.

Step 3.

• Shred the chicken meat and discard the bones.
• Return the chicken meat to the broth and then simmer it for about 10 minutes (until your carrots become tender).
• Add the evaporated milk and butter and then stir again. Make sure to add more water if required since, in some cases, the paste absorbs more liquid than expected.

Notes

i. The evaporated milk makes the dish rich and creamy. It’s also of the distinctive feature of the Philippines soap dishes.

ii. The Sopas recipe can sometimes use processed or left-over meat, for example, corned beef, which is usually removed once tender and shredded. It's critical to note that some recipes may skip this part.

iii. Just like any other soap dish, the broth is the heart of this dish. Most people prefer boneless meat chicken, but it’s recommended that one uses a slice of bone-in meat for the most convenient taste.

iv. The recipe centers on carrots as the vegetable add as, but it’s vital to note that they can be swapped with green peas, diced potatoes, and Chinese celery if available.

v. The most classic addition to the sopas recipe is the hot dogs, but one can also opt for sausages, cubed ham, or liver.
