Sopa de pollo y fideos is a classic Puerto Rican chicken soup with noodles, a comforting dish that is best consumed on chilly or rainy days. It is made with chicken pieces, chicken stock, sofrito, olive oil, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, noodles, and various spices.

The noodles are added near the end of cooking because they only need a short amount of cooking time to become tender and fully cooked. It is believed that this soup tastes the best when reheated the next day.
