A simple and quick noodle soup recipe that’s comforting and packed with flavor, perfect for any day.

Ingredients

  • 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh Mexican oregano, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (7-ounce) package cut fideo pasta
  • 1 quart chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Make tomato base: Combine tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and cumin in a blender. Blend on high until smooth.
  2. Toast noodles: Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the fideo noodles and toast, stirring frequently, until golden and toasted, about 4 minutes.
  3. Simmer: Add the tomato base and fry it in the oil for a minute or two before adding the broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the pasta is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Serve: Stir in the chopped cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

Feel free to adjust garlic and oregano, and add vegetables or proteins for extra flavor.
