Top Tips for the Best Macaroni Sopas

1. Enjoy your sopas while it’s hot! You can add a dollop of cheese for an extra rich flavor.
2. Use CDO Karne Norte for a delicious guisado taste, or CDO Home-Style Chicken Flakes in Oil for a quick and easy meaty sahog. Both options are perfect as replacements for the chicken breast or as additional ingredients.
3. Go green! Chopped spinach, kale, or peas can add a pop of color, nutrients, and a fresh flavor to the creamy sopas. Try adding them towards the end of the cooking process.
4. Level up your soup by adding toppings like crumbled CDO Bacon, chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
5. The classic pairing for cheesy sopas is pandesal. You can also try toasted French bread or crackers for dipping.

How To Store Leftover Sopas?

Let your sopas cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheat gently over low heat on the stovetop when ready to enjoy again. Add a splash of water or broth if needed.
