Ingredients

• 200 grams Fideo pasta (vermicelli or angel hair, broken into smaller pieces)
• 3 medium Roma tomatoes
• 0.5 medium White onion
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 sprigs Fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the tomato base: In a blender, combine the Roma tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, and 1 cup of the broth. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the fideo pasta and toast it, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 3

Once the pasta is toasted, pour the blended tomato mixture into the pot. Stir well and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the raw tomato taste to cook off.

Step 4

Add the remaining 3 cups of broth to the pot. Stir and bring the soup to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Season with salt and black pepper. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender.

Step 6

If desired, add fresh cilantro sprigs during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.

Step 7

Serve the soup hot in bowls. You can garnish with additional cilantro or a squeeze of lime for extra freshness.
