It's getting chilly here in my neck of the woods, and hearty soups have been my steady companions lately. I have a long list of soups I love to cozy up to during colder months, but no offense to chicken sopas<\/a> or arroz caldo<\/a>; chicken sotanghon is my all-time favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredient notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my book, nothing warms the body and nourishes the soul like a piping hot bowl of moist chicken, cellophane noodles, tender-crisp veggies, and flavorful broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Filipino-style noodle soup is typically made with chicken parts simmered in aromatics and then shredded into strips. However, I prefer to use bone-in chicken wings cut up into manageable pieces in mine. Not only do they keep moist and not stringy like the dry flaked meat, but the bone-rich chicken wings also bring an extra depth of flavor to the broth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I encourage you to use bone-in chicken parts for maximum flavor, shredded leftover rotisserie chicken or lechon manok<\/a> is also a quick and budget-friendly option when you want dinner in a hurry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While chicken is the traditional choice, diced pork, meatballs, shrimp, or fried tofu<\/a> are great for variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Sotanghon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sotanghon, also known as cellophane, glass, or mung bean thread noodles, is a type of clear noodles made from potato, mung bean, sweet potato, or tapioca starch and water. They're usually packaged in dried form and then reconstituted to use in stir-fries and soups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noodles are a staple in my house. I love how they can easily be combined into a quick, delicious, and budget-friendly meal. Here are a few more of my favorite recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
