Open in Pepper →Toasted Noodles In A Tomato Broth
Fideo is one of those dinners built from what's already in the cabinet: a bag of thin noodles, oil, tomatoes, water. You brown the noodles until they smell nutty, pour in the broth, and in twenty minutes there's a pot of something everybody wants a bowl of.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights when the fridge looks empty and payday is still a few days out, or when somebody's home sick and wants a warm bowl instead of a plate.
Every recipe here is a version somebody actually makes at home — Sopa de Fideo with vermicelli and fresh tomato, Fideo with ground beef and potato, Fideo Pasta Soup with tomato sauce, an authentic fideo sopa with Roma tomato and garlic, Fideo with Chicken thighs, and Fideo con everything with mushrooms and chicken breast.
Quick Tips
- 1
Toast the noodles first
Stir the dry noodles in 2 tablespoons of hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes until they're golden brown all over. That toasting is what gives fideo its flavor.
- 2
Blend the tomatoes smooth
Puree Roma tomatoes with garlic and a little water, then pour it over the toasted noodles and let it cook down 2 to 3 minutes before adding broth.
- 3
Watch the liquid
Start with about 4 cups of water or broth and add more as the noodles drink it up — they soften in roughly 8 to 10 minutes.
- 4
Cook the meat separately
Brown ground beef or chicken thighs first, drain off the fat, then set the meat aside and toast your noodles in the same pot.
