Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the fideo pasta and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the toasted fideo from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juice) to the pot, then pour in the vegetable broth.
Stir in the cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, add the toasted fideo back into the pot. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the fideo and vegetables are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the soup from heat.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice from the wedges.
