Sopa de Fideo Recipe

How to make Sopa de Fideo Recipe

Ingredients:

Tomato Sauce Ingredients

• 3 whole Roma tomatoes cut into 1/4ths

• 1/2 cup chopped white onion

• 2 whole garlic cloves

• 3/4 cup water

Soup Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil

• one 7.05 oz pack of fideo

• 5 cups vegetable broth store bought or homemade

• 2 sprigs cilantro optional

• salt to taste in total I used about 1 teaspoon — keep in mind the saltiness of the broth you use

Topping Options

Vegan

• 1 Pickled jalapeños

• 1 teaspoon vegan sour cream

• 1/2 teaspoon lime juice

• 2 Tablespoons avocado

Vegetarian

• Any of the above but use regular crema fresca instead of vegan

• 1 Tablespoon crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese

Directions:

Tomato Sauce Instructions

• Place the tomatoes, onio, garlic and water into a blender. Blend until smooth then set aside.

Soup Instructions

• Over medium-low heat, heat the oil in a large pot, once warm add the fideo noodles. Stir to coat the fideo with the oil. Keep stirring and allow the noodles to toast or begin to brown. Don’t walk away, you don’t want the noodles to burn!

• Once toasted add the tomato sauce — be careful it may splutter from the heat. Quickly stir until everything is well combined. Turn heat to low and allow to simmer for 8 minutes. The tomato sauce needs to thicken a little bit and turn a darker red color.

• Next pour in the vegetable broth, add the cilantro if using and the salt, mix until well combined. Partially cover the pot and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until the noodles are soft and tender but now mushy!

• Taste and adjust salt if desired. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with you favorite toppings and enjoy!

Enjoy !!
