A half cup of Alphabet pasta or star pasta /*vegan pasta
1l home-made chicken stock or chicken flavored stock cube

LET´S COOK!

2. Heat the olive oil in a pot. Sauté the onion and the carrot for a while.
3. Cover the pot with the chicken stock.
NOTE: The chicken stock is made from the chicken carcass or bones and cooked with vegetables. But the chicken-flavoured stock cubes boiled in water are also a good option.
4. Add the chicken breast.

5. Let it cook until it starts to boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for an hour or so.
6. Add the Alphabet pasta and leave to cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the egg and stir until the egg curdles. Try it and add salt / black pepper, to taste
7. Serve the soup warm with some crunchy breadsticks.
NOTE: Picos of bread are mini toasted baguettes manufactured in a natural process using the best wheat flour and extra virgin olive oil with no additives. This kind of breadsticks is typical of Andalusian cuisine (South of Spain).
