Sopa de Fideo
Description
Sopa de Fideo features fire-roasted diced tomatoes blended with onion, garlic, and ground cumin to make a smooth, flavorful tomato sauce. Straining the sauce ensures a velvety base without lumps or pulp. The fideo pasta is browned lightly in olive oil to give it a subtle nuttiness and prevent clumping. Adding the tomato sauce and chicken or vegetable broth followed by simmering tenderizes the thin noodles and melds flavors.
The soup yields a warm, lightly spiced broth with tender pasta that absorbs the tomato essence. It can be served as a light entrée or comforting side, making it suitable for casual meals or when desiring a gentle, soothing soup. Adjusting salt after cooking helps balance seasoning to taste.
