Sopa de Fideo

This is such an easy recipe to make. Fideo is a great substitute for Mexican rice and goes well with almost any Mexican recipe.

In blender add 1 cup of chopped tomatoes, ¼-1/2 cup of chopped onion, 1 cup of water, 1 clove of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, ¼ teaspoon of garlic salt, ½ teaspoon of oregano. You can add more of the spices as you cook to fit your taste buds.

In a heated skillet, add two or 3 tablespoons of oil, 1/2 pound of Vermicelli (need to break it up a little), cook on medium low and brown to a golden brown color. Once the Vermicelli is toasted, pour ingredients from blender bring to a boil, turn down heat to low simmer till tender, about five - ten minutes or so. If it looks to dry add a little water, you will learn to adjust thru trial and error.
