Beef Sopas

Beef Sopas is Filipino recipe of beef noodle soup prepared with cubed beef pieces cooked with carrots and macaroni in a creamy soup of beef stock and milk.

Sopas is a Tagalog word for soup and usually it is made out of macaroni or shell pasta with bits of chicken, chicken liver or beef in a milk based broth. This soup is the Philippine version of the Western chicken soup and probably the most popular soup in the Philippines. A soup that primarily targets the kids palate that’s why it easily becomes a child’s their favourite, this is also the dish that is the first choice given to kids who are unwell, and this it is one of the many ways moms in Philippines let their child eat carrots.

Usually when this is prepared using chicken as it is the one of the cheapest meat back home plus it cooks faster but for our recipe today we are using the beef version and to even more enhance its taste I also used corned beef for a fuller beef flavour.
