How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Place the tomatoes, onion, and garlic

    Place the tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a blender. Blend with a splash of broth until completely smooth to create the 'recaudo' (tomato base).

  2. Heat the vegetable oil

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the fideo noodles and stir constantly until they are golden brown and toasted.

    5 min

  3. Carefully pour the blended tomato mixture

    Carefully pour the blended tomato mixture over the toasted noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture darkens slightly in color.

    3 min

  4. Add the remaining chicken broth and salt

    Add the remaining chicken broth and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the noodles are tender.

    10 min

  5. Taste and adjust seasoning

    Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.

A little kitchen wisdom

For a heartier version, you can add diced potatoes or shredded chicken. Always serve with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a slice of avocado.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

The noodles will continue to absorb liquid as they sit. If making ahead, add extra broth when reheating.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the consistency.

Allergens
