SOPA DE FIDEO CON POLLO! ❤ easy CHICKEN AND FIDEO SOUP!

This SOPA DE FIDEO CON POLLO takes me way back to my childhood, my momma fixed it often, I remember coming home from school to find my momma waiting for us with this SOPA, she always had something delicious ready and waiting for us, she would make a big pitcher of Kool Aid to go along with it, we were very poor, and it was a very inexpensive dish to fix, but we were blessed to have it as it tastes delicious and is one of my forever favorites. ❤
