chicken macaroni soup



yesterday, i was not feeling very well...had colds, still enduring sneezing attacks up to now.
i decided to do the cooking of our dinner so i came up with something for my colds at the same time serve as our dinner.

ingredients:

elbow or salad macaroni (kahit ano sa dalawa, mas malaki nga lang ang elbow macaroni kaysa sa salad.)
carrots sliced into cubes
1 pc. porkchop sliced into cubes
cooking oil
onion
garlic
chicken broth cubes
3 cups water
pepper
patis

directions:
1. cook the salad or elbow macaroni as per package instruction (siguro naman kayang kaya na ang paghahanda neto. pero kung baguhan talaga sa pagluluto, eto lang yung per package instruction: tubig(water), mantika(oil) at asin(salt), pakuluin bago ihalo ang macaroni)
2. placed cubed pork in saucepan, put some water and a little salt.(eto yung sangkutsa)
3. when the water has evaporated, put little cooking oil and saute, onions and garlic with the cubed pork.
4. add the chicken broth cubes.
5. add 3 cups water (depende parin sa inyo kung gaano karaming sabaw ang gusto niyong higupin.)
6. bring to a boil and then add the cooked macaroni.
7. pepper and patis to taste.

this is my own variation of the famous chicken soup. (hindi nga lang for the soul, kundi for the simple colds eto. hehe) this can be prepared for merienda or as soup for meals. (dito naman sa atin sa pinas, kahit anong oras mo pedeng kainin ang pagkain, dito lang yata ang soup as main course din eh. kaya wala talaga problema kung gawin mo etong merienda o soup na partner sa main dish.)
