Fideo Loco Soup With Chicken Recipes

SOPA DE FIDEO CON POLLO ( MEXICAN CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP)

Steps:

• Combine first five ingredients in a large stockpot with enough water to cover; boil until done, about 30 minutes.
• Drain and reserve broth.
• While the chicken is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet.
• Sauté the fideo in oil a few minutes until lightly browned over medium heat.
• 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).
• Can be garnished with cilantro and/or jalapeño.

FIDEO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the fideo, and fry until browned. Pour in half of the can of tomato sauce, and 1 cup of the water. Season with cumin, garlic salt and chili powder, and stir to blend. Bring to a boil, and cook until the liquid has almost evaporated.
• Stir in the remaining tomato sauce and water. Cover, and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the fideo is tender, and the sauce has thickened.
