• Add onion and bell pepper pieces and cook until onion is translucent.
• Add cooked vegetables and noodles to the cooked chicken pieces.
• Pour in some broth and tomato sauce, enough to cover everything (just a little for thicker stews, more for thinner soups), then cover and simmer until noodles are cooked through.
• Finish with more seasonings (cumin, salt, garlic, to taste).

QUICK FIDEO

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, 1 tablespoon dried onion, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer beef to a bowl.
• Heat canola oil in the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir fideo noodles in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add ground beef and enough hot water to cover the noodles; stir in tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons dried onion, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, beef bouillon, green bell pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

LISA LYNN'S FIDEO SOUP

Steps:

• Combine beef broth, chicken broth, and 2 cups vegetable broth in a large pot over medium heat; bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, combine remaining vegetable broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, tomato halves, onion, garlic, and chicken soup base in the bowl of a food processor; blend until fully combined, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the processor blade and set the bowl aside.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch frying pan over medium-high heat. Add fideo pasta and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Stir in oregano and cumin. Hold a 6-inch strainer over the pan and pour in the blended tomato mixture. Quickly stir the sizzling mixture with a wooden spoon so it doesn't stick or burn; continue stirring for 1 minute. Discard any tomato solids left in the strainer.
• Pour fideo-tomato mixture into the simmering broth. Increase heat to high and cook for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high and stir in zucchini and salt. Cook until fideo is tender yet firm to the bite, about 2 minutes more.
