Mexican Fideo (Vermicelli)

I was researching ways to use Fideo pasta (Vermicelli) and ran across this recipe. It was actually called Sopa de Fideo, though there is nothing "soupy" about this. It's more like a tomato mac & cheese. Regardless, this Mexican Fideo (Vermicelli) (I renamed it!) was a huge hit with my husband. It only took 10 minutes to make. If you have kids at home, this is a must-try dish.

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Cook: 10 mins
  • Yields: 2 - 3 Servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 - 7 ounce bag fideo (vermicelli) pasta

8 ounce can tomato sauce

1½ cups chicken broth

1 cup Mexican cheese or cheddar, shredded

garlic salt

pepper

Directions

1Add oil to a medium pot and cook on medium-low heat. Add fideo and cook until noodles are coated in oil and have started to brown.


2Add tomato sauce and broth and bring to a boil. Then reduce to low and simmer for 6 - 8 minutes or until noodles are soft.


3Add cheese, salt and pepper and stir until combined. Serve warm.

I know it’s meant to be soup, but really good. Next time I will try it with more broth!

My mom made this all the time for us as kids. We never added cheese. Added finely dice onion when the noodles were just about golden. Ours had more broth. It was soupy. Comfort food for sure.
