Sopas (Filipino style chicken noodle soup)

Another thing my daughter likes to eat is sopas. Although its been too hot to be eating soup, I thought I'd make this today to get my daughter to eat more. She's been really low on her weight, so I needed to make foods that she likes to eat a lot of. This is great to eat during the cold winter. She ate pretty good at dinner tonight, so I think this was a success.
