Your website has been a great help to me! Thanks. :) I tried your recipe with both chicken pieces and minced beef but without the ham bone and the feedback was both good. I also add a handful or two of white raisins for added flavor and an extra source of fiber. The soup is fast moving! Thanks again and keep it up! :) I am a new housewife and I am just starting to cook for my husband and brother. Your website has been a great help to me! Thanks. :)

Here in California, I wouldn't know where to buy them. So in lieu of ham bones, I used several strips of bacon to emulate that smoky flavor? The dish was fitting for a cold winter January night and the kids liked it. Thank you. -Julius I cooked this recipe last night.

For the meat I used 1/2lb ground pork, substituted rotini for macaroni, & had to settle for canned reduced sodium chicken broth! The important part (for me, at least!) really was the method; except for the ingredient substitutes (as well as proportion adjustments here & there), I followed the basic steps you outlined. And not only was cooking this a piece of cake, it turned out really yummy as well! Hubby & I both loved this type of sopas as children growing up in Manila. When I started cooking several years ago, I asked my tita for her recipe, as I, along with several family members, was *addicted* to her sopas. I was haughtily advised that the recipe couldn't be shared with me as it was a "secret". Imagine my disappointment! So a big *THANK YOU* for sharing the recipe with us! I still intend to cook it your way though--maybe I can find ham bones in the supermarket or perhaps the Asian grocery store we go to. This is gonna be a mainstay in our house, especially now that winter is fast approaching! =) I finally found the time to make the sopas, unfortunately I couldn’t follow your recipe verbatim–had to improvise based on what I had at home!
