Easy Sopa de Fideo recipe
Following this easy sopa de fideo recipe is something that you’ll only need to master once and then after that – you’re good! It’s very similar to the sopa de estrellitas. You can customize this Mexican soup recipe as you see fit. It’s easy to add chicken to it and make it a type of chicken noodle soup. You can even add shrimp and vegetables to it!
It’s super customizable and easy to make with items you probably have in your pantry. Best of all, this soup is super budget-friendly and can be topped with other delicious ingredients like Tapatio sauce.
Sopa de Fideo Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp. oil (any kind)
- 1 diced tomato
- 1/4 diced onion
- 32 oz. carton of broth (we use veggie broth)
- 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 7 oz. bag of Vermicelli Thin Noodles
Directions
- Heat 1/4 tbsp. in a large skillet.
- Add onion. Stir in pan until slightly brown.
- Add pasta to onion and brown a little.
- Add broth and tomato sauce. Tip: Pour a little of the broth into the tomato sauce can to get any excess sauce that might left. You’ll want all the tomato goodness from that itty-bitty can.
- Bring soup to a boil then simmer on medium heat for 8-12 minutes or until pasta is soft. Add about two cups of water and salt to taste once pasta is soft.
- If you’re adding tomato, do it a few minutes before the soup is done. That’ll keep the tomato slightly crisp. Alternatively, you can also add a can of diced tomatoes.
Once the soup is done you can top with different herbs, like cilantro. I grew up adding mayonnaise to mine – just a dollop! It makes it creamy and extra delicious. j
