Ingredients

Soup Base

Fideo

  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 8 cups Water or vegetable stock
  • 1 ½ cup Fideo vermicelli pasta
  • 1/4 cup Onion diced (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Cilantro chopped (optional

Garnish

  • Cilantro, lime wedges, queso fresco, sliced radish

Instructions

  • Add the tomato, onion, garlic, caldo de tomate, and water or vegetable broth into a blender and blend on high until everything is fully combined. Set this aside and begin toasting your fideo pasta.
  • Pour the vegetable oil to a heavy bottom pot and heat it up over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Once the oil is hot, gently pour the vermicelli noodles into the pot, along with the diced onions.
  • Stir the noodles and onions around constantly so that they can get toasty and brown on all sides. You will brown the pasta for about 3 minutes, until they are all golden brown- but not burnt.
  • Gently pour the tomato sauce that you made, into the pot with the fideo, sprinkle in your dried oregano and chopped cilantro and stir everything together, and bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid.
  • Allow the soup to simmer on low until the noodles are soft and tender, but still have a little bite to them. This should take about 12-15 minutes.
  • Serve right away, add your favorite garnishes, and ENJOY!
