piece of chicken breast from the pan, along with the
streaky bacon and chop them up with a knife or mincer.
Remove the skin from the pork and blood sausage and

little pieces. Squeeze the lemon. Mix the minced chicken

to boil and add fideos ( short noodles - thick or
thin, whichever you prefer). Let them cook for 10
minutes and serve in a hot, deep dish.
CONSOMÉ: this should be served warm in cups
accompanied by a couple of meatballs.
