Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 7 ounces Vermicelli noodles (fideos)
- 3 Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 White onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the base. Place the Roma tomatoes, half an onion, and garlic cloves in a blender. Blend until smooth, then set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the vermicelli noodles and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown. Be careful not to burn them, as they can brown quickly.
3. Once the noodles are toasted, carefully pour the blended tomato mixture into the pot. Stir for 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
4. Add the chicken broth to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil.
5. Lower the heat to a simmer and season the soup with salt and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Let the soup simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the flavors have melded together.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
8. Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro if desired. Include lime wedges on the side for a bright, tangy accent.
