Chicken and Ham Sopas is perfect during cold weather. This version of the popular chicken sopas, which is also known as the Filipino version of chicken noodle soup will excite your taste buds.
Instead of boiling and shredding chicken meat, I used ground chicken for this recipe and added chopped ham for extra flavor. The noodles that I consumed are called wide egg noodles. Traditional chicken sopas uses elbow macaroni — you can also use it if you want. Celery and carrots are also important because these contribute in making this soup dish more yummy. The addition of dried thyme also helps boost the aroma flavor of this dish.
I like my chicken and ham sopas creamy, this version makes use of evaporated milk. You can also add a bit of heavy whipping cream to make it thicker.
