Sopa De Pasta Or Sopa De Fideos Recipes

MEXICAN NOODLE SOUP (SOPA DE FIDEO)

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup chicken stock, tomatoes, onion, serrano chile, and garlic in a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain tomato sauce into a bowl and reserve.

TRADITIONAL MEXICAN SOPA DE FIDEO RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds. Puree the tomatoes, onion, and garlic and set aside.
• Preheat 3 tbsp. of vegetable oil to medium-hot. Add the noodles and stir to coat with oil. Continue stirring until the noodles have started to brown.
• Strain the pureed tomatoes, onion, and garlic into the noodles. Notice the color of the noodles. Some of them should be very brown. The browned noodles add depth of flavor to the soup.
• Add the chicken broth and stir.
• Bring the soup to a boil. Cover and reduce to low heat. Cook for 10 minutes.
• Check the salt and adjust to taste before serving.
• Serve your soup with a couple of lime halves. A squirt of lime brings the flavors together. A little chopped avocado is a nice touch.

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, and stir in the pasta. Fry the pasta gently, stirring often, until the pasta is golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Pour the tomato mixture into a large saucepan, and stir in chicken broth and noodles. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium low; simmer until the noodles are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and stir in the cilantro; simmer 2 more minutes to cook cilantro.

SOPA DE FIDEO

Steps:

• Add the garlic, tomatoes, red-pepper flakes, cumin and salt to a blender, and blend until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat a medium pot over medium, then add the oil. Add the fideo to the hot oil and cook until toasted and aromatic, about 5 minutes. Be sure to constantly mix the fideo so it toasts evenly.
• Reduce the heat to low, then add the blended tomato mixture.
• Add 5 cups of water to the pot, along with the celery, carrot and bay leaf. Mix and taste for salt, adjusting if necessary.
• Increase to medium heat until simmering, then reduce to medium-low. Cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fideo is cooked through, the soup has melded together and the liquid has thickened.
• Remove the celery, carrot and bay leaf, and discard. Serve soup in bowls and top with any of your favorite sopa de fideo toppings.

SOPA DE PASTA OR SOPA DE FIDEOS

Steps:

• Break the pasta into 1 inch pieces.
• In food processor, combine the tomatoes, onions, garlic, and chipotle. Process until smooth.
• In heavy soup pan, heat oil to med heat. Add pasta and cook, stirring, until pasta turns golden about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Then add the tomato mix and broth. Increase the heat to med high and bring to a boil. Cook uncovered until the pasta is a la dente. That should be about 5 minutes [angel hair cooks faster remember?].
• Place soup in bowls, garnish with cilantro or use parsley. Serve asap.
• Notes: Use a Roasted Vegetable Broth. You want it dark and rich. Add Mrs Dash seasoning [I use the Southwest but be warned it is going to spike your heat up] Also don't use Canned as the recipe calls for. Use fresh tomatoes diced with some chilies. Or use Rotel if you must use canned.
• The recipe above is the Journal's recipe and it is a simple recipe suited to smaller childrens tastes [no hot.] I prefer to kick it up. Seasoning is omitted because of this so you need to add it. If you don't it is going to be a bland broth spiced only by the Roasted Vegetable broth.
