Notes
- Substitutions
- Extra Touches
- You can use thin spaghetti, vermicelli noodles, or angel hair pasta broken into 1" pieces if you are unable to find "fideos"
- Substitute canned low-sodium chicken broth if you don't have homemade.
- You can also use vegetable broth if you want a vegetarian / vegan soup.
- You can make an even quicker version of this soup by using ½ cup tomato paste and 8 cups water instead of using the tomato and onion and chicken broth.
- You can 2 tablespoons of chopped avocado and a spoonful of queso fresco to each bowl as a nice garnish.
