Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fideo pasta (vermicelli or angel hair, broken into smaller pieces)
- 3 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium White onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the tomato base: In a blender, combine the Roma tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, and 1 cup of the broth. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the fideo pasta and toast it, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.
Once the pasta is toasted, pour the blended tomato mixture into the pot. Stir well and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the raw tomato taste to cook off.
Add the remaining 3 cups of broth to the pot. Stir and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
Season with salt and black pepper. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender.
If desired, add fresh cilantro sprigs during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.
Serve the soup hot in bowls. You can garnish with additional cilantro or a squeeze of lime for extra freshness.
