Ingredients

• 8 oz Vermicelli noodles (fideo pasta)
• 4 medium Roma tomatoes
• 1 small Yellow onion
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 6 cups Chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Cumin
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 2 whole Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm up.

Step 2

Break the vermicelli noodles into smaller pieces, about 1-2 inches long, if they are not already pre-broken. Add them to the pot and toast, stirring constantly, until they are golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Once toasted, remove the noodles and set aside.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the Roma tomatoes, onion, garlic, and 2 cups of the broth. Blend until smooth to create the base for the soup.

Step 4

In the same pot used to toast the noodles, pour the blended tomato mixture and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to develop.

Step 5

Add the remaining 4 cups of broth, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well.

Step 6

Return the toasted vermicelli noodles to the pot. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the soup for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
