Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for sopa.

Mention the use of Barilla brand medium shells, but note they couldn't find them and are using a substitute.

Heat a skillet on medium to medium-high heat.

Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

Add half a bag of the shells to the skillet and brown them for flavor and texture.

Add 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 cube of beef bullion, 32 ounces of chicken broth, salt, and pepper to the skillet after the shells are browned.

Let the mixture come to a boil.

Add a few pinches of cilantro to the mixture.

Reduce the heat slightly, cover the skillet, and let it cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, checking after 10 minutes for noodle doneness.

After 10 minutes, check the noodles to ensure they are not too soggy or hard, and confirm that the dish is done.

Show the finished sopa and mention that it can be enjoyed with tacos.
