Guiltless Chicken Soup

We, Filipinos enjoy any kind of soup whether under hot or cold conditions. In our family, we cook chicken soup for our breakfast, 3 or 4 times a week. It is our family's staple food. I make sure our family eats heavy breakfast, so everytime I would cook chicken sopas for breakfast, I loaded it up with vegetables to help them be fueled with the right vitamins and minerals they need throughout the day.

Preparing for chicken stock can be a bit tiring and time consuming, so instead of using chicken I used Sexy Chix chicken chunks in guiltless broth. It has the same taste and tenderness as that of cooked chicken but it has less fat.

So here are the ingredients of my guiltless chicken soup:

1 can Sexy Chix in guiltless broth
1 cup elbow macaroni
1 large carrot
1 head broccolli
1 bell pepper
Wandah all-around creamy mix
1 pc chicken broth cube
3 cups water
salt & pepper to taste

Here's how:

1. In a medium-sized casserole, boil water. 

2. While waiting for water to boil, slice the vegetable into bite sizes.

3. When the water is already boiling, add in chicken broth, elbow macaroni & Sexy Chix (including the broth) and parsley. 

4. After 5 minutes, add carrots, bell pepper, pepper and salt, to taste. Simmer for 3 minutes.

5. Add brocolli then simmer again for 5 minutes. 

6. Add Wandah mix and stir until creamy, simmer for 5 minutes more.

Why Sexy Chix instead of chicken? I want to save time cooking. Sexy Chix is tender and tasty plus it is healthy as it is fat-free, MSG-fee and has less sodium content. I also loved using Wandah instead of the usual evaporated milk because I can achieve the right creaminess for my soup. Unlike milk it does not create lumps when left boiling for 5 minutes or more. This dish is really Masarap, Masustansya at Kayang-kaya!
