Cook this recipe

  • fideo noodles-7 oz
  • tomato sauce-1 can
  • vegetable broth-6 cups
  • white onion-1/2 cup
  • carrot-1 medium
  • zucchini-1 medium
  • garlic-2 cloves
  • olive oil-2 tablespoons

  • ground cumin-1/2 teaspoon
1
Prepare the vegetables
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife

Prepare the vegetables by finely chopping the white onion, dicing the carrot and zucchini, and mincing the garlic before you start cooking.

Use a stable cutting board and keep fingers tucked while chopping vegetables.

1/2 cup white onion
1 Count carrot
1 Count zucchini
2 Count garlic
2
Toast the noodles
Large pot
Wooden spoon

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the fideo noodles and cook, stirring often, until they are lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes.

Stir the noodles often while toasting so they do not scorch in the hot oil.

2 tablespoons olive oil
7 ounces fideo noodles
3
Cook the aromatics
Large pot
Wooden spoon

Add the white onion, carrot, and garlic, then cook until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.

1/2 cup white onion
1 Count carrot
2 Count garlic
4
Season the tomato base
Measuring Spoons
Large pot
Wooden spoon

Stir in the tomato sauce, ground cumin, and kosher salt, then cook for 1 minute to deepen the tomato flavor.

1 can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
5
Add broth and boil
Measuring Cups
Large pot
Wooden spoon

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a gentle boil, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any toasted bits.

Pour broth slowly into the hot pot to reduce splashing and avoid the quick rise of steam.

6 cups vegetable broth
6
Simmer the soup
Large pot

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the noodles and carrot are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

7
Add the zucchini
Large pot
Wooden spoon

Stir in the zucchini and simmer until it is tender but not mushy, about 3 minutes.

1 Count zucchini
8
Taste and serve
Ladle

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot while the soup is brothy and the noodles are tender.

Let the soup cool slightly before serving to children.
