Sopa de Fideo (Pronouced: so-pa de fi-de-o)

This ones a classic, I remember coming home from school and grabbing a bowl of warm goodness. Can't go wrong with Fideo, that's fo'sho!

Ingredientes:
6 tomatoes (diced)
1/2 onion (diced)
1 large clove of garlic
4 cups of water
2 cube of Knorr chicken
7 oz sopa de Fideo
tblsp of Cooking oil
garish with cilantro
sour cream or crema Mexicana (optional)
lemon juice (optional)

Instructiones:
You'll be using a blender for this one.
To your blender add, 3 cups of water, 6 tomatoes, 1/2 onion,
1 large clove of garlic, 1 cube of Knorr chicken

Blend well. Then use a colander to get rid of any puree. Set aside.

In a pot, add your oil, cook on medium heat, when the oil is hot add your Fideo. You'll want to stir till it turns golden brown. You'll want to keep an eye on it otherwise it can burn.

Once it's golden, carefully add your mixture. (Watch out because it like to jump out the pot!)

Toss in some cilantro if you wish. Put the lid and let it cook.

Bring to a boil then reduce to medium (gentle boil) until noodles are almost tender. You'll want to give it time to cook without losing your caldo (broth). If the fideo is still uncooked, you can always add a little more water.

Once it's done, serve.

I suggest you add some sour cream or Mexican crema or squeeze some lemon juice.

Es delicioso!
