Sopa de Conchitas
This is such a great soup. Usually you will have everything on hand to make
it. Cut up leftover meat, such as chicken, beef or pork may be added to this.
Ground beef may also be added. Many add potatoes, mixed vegetables or whatever
else they like. This can also be made with elephant ear pasta, fideo, alphabet
or whatever other shaped pasta you like.
