Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium, chopped onion
  • 2 cloves, minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz fideo noodles
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in the 2 minced garlic cloves and 3 tbsp tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant and the paste darkens slightly.

  3. 3

    Pour in the 6 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the 8 oz fideo noodles and 1 tsp salt.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Season with 0.5 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or lime if desired.
