Milky Sopas Recipe

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water, and add macaroni. Cook 2 minutes less than directed. Drain macaroni, and keep warm. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in another pot over medium heat, add butter and oil. Once butter is melted, add garlic, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook until aromatic and beginning to brown.

Season chicken with cinnamon, sage, salt, and pepper, to taste. Working in batches, add chicken to the pot, and sear all sides before adding the next batch of chicken.

Pour in milk and chicken broth. Stir, bring to a boil, and then simmer just until chicken is cooked through. Add cooked macaroni and sausages. Season to taste. Cook until sausages are heated through. Ladle into bowls, and serve while still hot.
