Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 ounces fideo pasta
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 2 medium celery stalk, diced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the fideo pasta and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the toasted fideo from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juice) to the pot, then pour in the vegetable broth.

Step 6

Stir in the cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Once boiling, add the toasted fideo back into the pot. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the fideo and vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the soup from heat.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice from the wedges.
