Vermicelli Soup

This vermicelli soup is called "fideo" or "sopa seca" (dry soup) and is eaten all over Mexico. It is inexpensive and easy to make. This can be comforting when sick, but it is also a great side dish with any kind of meat, poultry, or fish. To make it soupier you can add vegetable broth to taste.
