Ingredients
- 7 ounces fideo noodles
- 3 medium roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the fideo noodles and stir continuously until they turn golden brown and toasted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the noodles from the pot and set aside.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and 1 cup of chicken broth. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
In the same pot used for toasting the noodles, pour the tomato mixture and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and deepens in color.
Step 4
Add the remaining 5 cups of chicken broth to the pot, along with the toasted fideo noodles. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Season the soup with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 6
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Step 7
Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving for added freshness.
Step 8
Serve hot with a squeeze of lime juice from the lime wedges for a bright, zesty finish.
