Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 (7 ounce) package fideo pasta, uncooked

  • 3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth

  • coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Place tomatoes, onion, and garlic into a blender; pulse several times to get the mixture moving, then blend until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat; stir in fideo pasta. Fry pasta gently, stirring often, until golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Pour tomato mixture into a large saucepan; stir in chicken broth and noodles. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until noodles are tender, 7 to 8 minutes.

  4. Season with salt and pepper; stir in cilantro and cook until warmed through.

Recipe Tip

You can substitute fideo with angel hair pasta, broken into small pieces.
