Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free rice vermicelli (fideo-style noodles)
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 small White onion
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth (gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the tomato base by blending the Roma tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a medium or large pot over medium heat. Add the gluten-free rice vermicelli and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently. Be careful not to burn the noodles.
Once the noodles are toasted, carefully pour in the blended tomato mixture. Stir well to coat the noodles and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken.
Add the gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine, then season with salt and ground black pepper.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for added brightness.
Serve hot and enjoy your comforting bowl of gluten-free Sopa de Fideo!
