Chicken Macaroni Soup

The past few days had been surprisingly cold and wet that we often wonder what season we're in at the moment. The weather for the first few weeks in April were quite perfect that we were able to do a lot of outdoor activities such as picking strawberries, going bowling and visiting nearby cities to shop. Recently, with the weather we're having, it takes quite a lot of effort just to get out of bed. 

On days like this, it's so nice to cuddle with the one you love and watch movies while having a bowl of hot Chicken Macaroni soup. 

So how do you make one, you might ask. It's quite simple. Simply prepare the following ingredients:

• 2 tbsp canola oil
• 2 garlic gloves, crushed, chopped
• 1 medium onion, peeled, chopped
• 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
• 1 tbsp patis
• 1 cup diced cooked chicken
• 1 cup diced ham
• cabbage
• 2 cups cooked macaroni
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground pepper

How to prepare:

1. Boil chicken and set aside chicken broth.
2. Heat oil in big saucepan, brown garlic, sauté onions until caramelized. Add carrots, season with patis. Cook for 5 minutes.
