Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Carrot, sliced into thin rounds
- 2 medium Celery stalks, sliced
- 8 ounces Gluten-free fideo noodles (or gluten-free spaghetti broken into 1-inch pieces)
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 6 cups Vegetable or chicken broth (ensure gluten-free)
- 1 whole Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots and celery, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the gluten-free fideo noodles and toast them lightly in the oil and vegetables, stirring continuously for about 2-3 minutes until they start to lightly brown.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and stir to combine.
Add the vegetable or chicken broth, bay leaf, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until the noodles and vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf from the soup.
Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and allow them to wilt for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the fideo soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice from the wedges.
