Sopita de Fideos y Huevo - Gallina Blanca

The name Gallina Blanca might ring a bell in your mind, and if you are racking your brain trying to figure out what it is, then let me help you.

Gallina Blanca is a brand that makes cooking ingredients, and this time they are trying to show off their “Natural Homemade Stew Broth,” which they say goes perfectly with their egg and noodle soup.

Minestrone soup is less of a South American dish and is clearly an Italian dish, but the idea of minestrone holds its core in Sopita.
