Beef Macaroni Soup (Beef Sopas)

SOPAS or MACARONI SOUP is one of the many popular breakfast soup dishes in the Philippines. I even already featured a macaroni soup recipe using CHICKEN but this time, I will be using ground lean beef in a creamy macaroni soup for a bowl packed with benefits of protein. Oh well, we all grew up loving Sopas cooked in many different ways, changed in many variations and added with different spices and vegetables. So I am very sure all will love this beefy version of macaroni soup.
