Sopa de Fideos Recipe [Nudelsuppe Rezept] Noodle Soup Recipe

This soup is not one of my all time favourites. But I've made it for a lots of people, who actually liked it a lot, so I guess it's just me.
In this recipe I'm using chorizo - a Spanisch sausage. You can use salami oder speck or other sausages with distinctive taste. But since every sausage is different, you have to be very carefully with seasoning.

1. Put chicken breast, chorizo and broth together in one pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Let slightly cook for ca. 5 minutes and then take the pot from the stove.
2.Remove chicken and chorizo from the pot, but keep the broth!
3. Let the meet cool. Remove the chicken skin and tear it into stripes.
4. Cut the chicken skin into fine stripes. If chicken was skinless, skip this step.
5. Cut the chorizo into fine stripes.

6. Bring the soup to a boil. Break the noodles into 3cm pieces and add them to the soup. Let everything boil for ca. 3 minutes or until the noodles get soft.
7. Add meat, skin and chorizo back to the broth, so they warm up.

Mussels Soup Recipe [Muschelsuppe Rezept]

This recipe uses mussels from can. You can also use fresh mussels, still in their shell and add clam shells (it looks better), but then you have to clean them first, which is not described in this recipe. Please be careful when cooking shells, if they don't open while cooking, they're not edible anymore!

When mussels are cooked too long, the taste will change for worse.
