“Sopas” as commonly know in the Philippines is a kind of soup with macaroni pasta, vegetables, chicken and milk. The addition of milk is what makes this soup different from other soup. This a good source of calcium and many other vitamins from loads of vegetables, plus protein of you feel like adding some chicken. This can also be made vegan but replacing regular milk with non dairy milk and removing the chicken.

Mami, Arozcaldo, Sotanghon Soup, and Sopas are some of my favorite soup back in the Philippines. They are all quite filling and a perfect company for rainy days. Philippines is a warm weather country, the most that we get cool weather is during December – January, by cool I mean below 20F, yeah that’s what cool means in the Philippines. The average temperature could be 25F and it can even reach 30’s during the summer. So soup are something that we enjoy mostly during rainy season.
