This homemade Mexican noodle soup is vegetarian-friendly, and pure comfort food. Fideo translates to noodle and although it is a simple soup, it is full of flavor from our Chili Ready Tomato Sauce, and our Petite Diced Tomatoes Green Chilies with Lime and Cilantro. Chop a few vegetables, toast the pasta, add the rest of the ingredients and simmer – it’s that simple. We love a squeeze of lime added just before eating for added zing.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 ounces fideo cut pasta, uncooked
- 8 ounces vermicelli noodles, uncooked
- 1 yellow onion, peeled and diced

1 (15 ounce) can Red Gold® Chili Ready Tomato Sauce 15 oz
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds

Instructions
Step one
Heat a large pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. If you cannot find the short cut pasta you will need to break the vermicelli noodles into 2 inch pieces. Add the dry pasta to the hot pan and brown the noodles, continually stirring for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Step two
Add the diced onion, garlic, and red bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and chili ready tomato sauce; add the cumin seeds, chicken broth; season with salt and black pepper. Cook the soup for 20 minutes.
Step three
Garnish soup with chopped cilantro, jalapeno slices, and lime. Serve with additional lime wedges.
