Growing up, we always enjoyed a bowl of warm 'sopita' for lunch.

DELICIOUS facts:
A classic sopita includes the following listed ingredients minus the zucchini's, although in order to sneak in some sort of veggies we (my mother/ I) add zucchini or potato (also quartered, Yes carbs with starchy CARBS.. but so delish). If you're clueless as to where to purchase these lovely pasta packages pictured below, drive to your local supermarket, walk to the pasta aisle and there they will be waiting to be purchased. The variations in sizes and shapes are countless, each similar in flavor, however different in texture (obviously). My personal favorite is the stick looking one, fideo!
Now to add in some motherly perspectives...
This soup is a child's best friend, and it can be yours as well (chessy, but very true). As a mother of 2, this tends to be their lunch quite often :-p... Let me explain why(?).... It's fast/ easy and the nutritional value is great, it can be store for 2-3 days, and freezes excellent!!! I purchased small glass containers and freeze individual portions for my daughter to keep on hand whenever there isn't baby friendly food around. (Better than any Gerber I must add!)
