Directions:
Tomato Sauce Instructions
• Place the tomatoes, onio, garlic and water into a blender. Blend until smooth then set aside.
Soup Instructions
• Over medium-low heat, heat the oil in a large pot, once warm add the fideo noodles. Stir to coat the fideo with the oil. Keep stirring and allow the noodles to toast or begin to brown. Don’t walk away, you don’t want the noodles to burn!
• Once toasted add the tomato sauce — be careful it may splutter from the heat. Quickly stir until everything is well combined. Turn heat to low and allow to simmer for 8 minutes. The tomato sauce needs to thicken a little bit and turn a darker red color.
• Next pour in the vegetable broth, add the cilantro if using and the salt, mix until well combined. Partially cover the pot and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until the noodles are soft and tender but now mushy!
• Taste and adjust salt if desired. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Top with you favorite toppings and enjoy!
Enjoy !!
