Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
8 oz fideo noodles
2 tbsp oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 cup tomato sauce
6 cups beef broth
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cumin
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the fideo noodles. Toast them lightly until golden brown, stirring often so they do not burn. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Cook for 2 minutes.
5. Pour in the beef broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
6. Add the toasted fideo noodles and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the noodles and potatoes are tender.
7. Stir in the chopped cilantro, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.
Notes
Toasting the fideo noodles first adds extra depth and gives the soup its classic flavor.
Add extra broth when reheating because the noodles will absorb liquid as the soup sits.
Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for a brighter, fresher bowl.
