Ingredients
- 7 ounces fideo noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 large ripe tomatoes, diced
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced
- 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the fideo noodles and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the noodles from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it's translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, and cook until they are soft and start to break down, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the sliced carrot, cubed potato, and sliced zucchini to the pot. Cook for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Return the toasted fideo noodles to the pot and simmer for another 8-10 minutes until the noodles are cooked through.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stir in the fresh cilantro just before serving.
Serve hot, accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing over the soup.
