Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 7 ounces Vermicelli noodles (fideo pasta)
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium White onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 5 cups Chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 lime Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat a medium pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is warm, add the vermicelli noodles and toast them, stirring regularly, for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the noodles from the pot and set them aside.
In a blender, combine the Roma tomatoes, white onion half, garlic cloves, and 1 cup of broth. Blend until smooth and set aside.
In the same pot used to toast the noodles, pour the blended tomato mixture and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and aromatic.
Stir in the tomato paste, salt, ground black pepper, and cumin. Mix well to combine.
Pour in the remaining 4 cups of broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the toasted vermicelli noodles back into the pot. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and infused with the flavors of the broth.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a little water or additional broth to reach your desired consistency.
Garnish the soup with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
