Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Elbow macaroni
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 8 cups Water
- 1 can Evaporated milk
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 pieces Celery stalks
- 4 pieces Hotdogs
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Chicken broth cubes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 6 cups Water (for boiling macaroni)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the elbow macaroni. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In another pot, heat 8 cups of water and add the chicken breast. Boil for 10–12 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool slightly, then shred it into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the chicken broth for later use.
Chop the carrot, celery, and hotdogs into small bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and chop the onion finely.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted, sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Add the sliced hotdogs and sauté for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned.
Add the shredded chicken and stir for 2 minutes to combine with the aromatics.
Pour in the reserved chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the chicken broth cubes, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until the broth cubes dissolve.
Add the chopped carrot and celery and simmer for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Lower the heat and stir in the evaporated milk. Gradually add the cooked elbow macaroni, stirring to ensure it is well coated in the soup.
Simmer everything together for another 3–5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove from heat. Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your creamy macaroni chicken soup!
