Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• coarse salt to taste
• 1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped
• 1 (7 ounce) package fideo pasta, uncooked

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place tomatoes, onion, and garlic into a blender; pulse several times to get the mixture moving, then blend until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat; stir in fideo pasta. Fry pasta gently, stirring often, until golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Pour tomato mixture into a large saucepan; stir in chicken broth and noodles. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until noodles are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper; stir in cilantro and cook until warmed through.
