This easy Mexican Noodle Soup, aka sopa de fideo, is made with just six ingredients: tomatoes, garlic, onion, vegetable oil, noodles, and chicken broth. The roasted tomatoes are blended with garlic and onions until they form a savory, flavorful base for the toasted fideo, a thin noodle similar to angel hair. You can use chicken or vegetable broth here. Either way, it will taste delicious!
Recipe tips: Roasting the whole tomatoes in a dry cast iron skillet condenses their flavor and adds a depth of flavor while only taking a few extra minutes. For the best flavor, choose ripe tomatoes. If you have a hard time finding fideo noodles, substitute them with broken angel hair pasta or spaghetti. Top each bowl off with diced avocado and crumbled queso fresco, and serve with lime wedges for a bright finish.
To make the Mexican Noodle Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a dry cast iron skillet over high heat, roast 10 ounces tomatoes, turning a few times, until charred on all sides but still holding their shape.
In a blender, combine the roasted tomatoes, 1 large garlic clove, and ½ cup chopped onion.
Blend until smooth.
Use a colander to strain the mixture into a bowl. If the tomato mixture is too thick, add some chicken broth to thin it out. Set aside.
In a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-low heat, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and add 8 ounces fideo noodles (vermicelli pasta). Toast the noodles, stirring often, until they are light golden-brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the tomato mixture and cook for about 1 minute.
Add in 6 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth), ½ tablespoon salt, and
½ teaspoon black pepper and bring to a boil.
Once at a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the Dutch oven with a lid. Simmer until the noodles are tender, about 8 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt and black pepper if needed.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with queso fresco and diced avocado.
