    What is Sopa de Fideo?

    In Spanish, Sopa means soup and Fideo is noodles. Sopa de Fideo loosely translates to noodle soup. However, it is not just any noodles, it is usually made with fideo noodles. These are super fine noodles usually made with durum wheat and water, rolled, cut into about 1.5 to 2-inch pieces and dried. However, the part that makes this Mexican Noodle Soup authentic is toasting the fideo noodles first before putting them in the soup. It may be difficult to find fideo noodles, but angel hair pasta noodles work great as a substitution and that is what we used.

    What substitutions can I make in the recipe?

    We have made the sopa de fideo recipe vegetarian with the addition of a vegetable broth and added little topping of crumbly cotija cheese. However, you can make the recipe completely vegan just top with a little chopped avocado and extra cilantro. Feel free to make this recipe with chicken broth or bone broth. If you want to add chopped chicken, ground beef or other protein just be sure to fry that up before adding the broth. Need this recipe gluten free, no problem. Just toast the noodles and add to the soup broth after the soup base had a least 20 minutes to cook and mingle the flavors. Follow the directions on your gluten free pasta for cooking direction.

    Chef’s Notes:

    • Your sopa de fideo ( Mexican Soup Recipe) will thicken as it sets. If you want to reheat the leftovers you will need to add a little more broth and re-season to serve again.
    • We like to use fire roasted tomatoes. We used the ones in a can as this time of the year, fresh tomatoes are not in season. If tomatoes are in season, feel free to fire roast your own roma tomatoes, peel and add to the soup base.
    • Fresh Cilantro (coriander) really makes this recipe delicious. However, we know that some individuals have an aversion to cilantro. You can exchange with a teaspoon of dried oregano.

      Well, I can only get angel hair pasta here and do not know the cheese and am trying to figure out where the stresses go when pronouncing the word 'fideo' but I'll get there !! A somewhat different way of having a bowl of deliciousness in front of me . . . and with my lean purse . . .
