Simple fast soup. Use the mexican chicken broth. It is mixed w flavorful spices that makes it very yummy!
I made this as directed with no changes and found it quite bland. My kids didnt like it at all. It might help to add some jalepenos to the onions and garlic with the tomatoes when blending in the blender. I ended up adding a bit of cheese whiz to my bowl.
Made as directed and it was pretty good. I think this is more of a base to create many different types of Fideo. Simmer down more and it is more of how my Mexican mother-in-law makes it for the grand babies. Add more chicken broth and slightly less tomato and its more of how I like it, broth-ier. I will add some shredded chicken fajitas and make it more of a smokey tex-mex flavor soup next time. Mexican spouse LOVED it! This is a good start of a lot of different style recipes.
Very good! I love this soup, but because of heart failure, I'm on a very sodium restrictive diet. So I made exactly as written, but made with 32 oz low-sodium chicken broth,1 tsp no sodium chicken bouillon granules,unsalted diced tomatoes with oregano, basil and garlic, and it was goooood! To the average person it's probably a little bland, but for me it was perfect and I got my soup fix I was craving.
Update: I have since made this recipe several times. I've added a 4 oz can of diced green chilis and definitely use fresh cilantro if you can. Also added 10 oz extra lean ground turkey cooked with Mrs. Dash taco season and added it to the soup. It's a great way to add a little protein to a nice, light soup. This is definitely one of my favorite very low sodium soups on this site.
Followed this recipe to the T and it turned out really deliciously.... definitely glad I picked this one to try
Very simple recipe. It doesn't have a lot of flavor however. I like to use fire roasted tomatoes or diced tomatoes and chilies. Also I add cayenne powder chili powder and a cube of Knorr's caldo de tomate. Its really delicious right out of the pot... but let it sit over night and when you have it the next day it'll have a strong flavor.
actually upon going over those ingredients I do a lot differently as far as measurements go.. this soup is superb. I use 3 tomatoes a sliver of white onion (about 1/8 of it) 3 cloves of garlic (or more I'm a garlic nut) and chicken broth.. blend all of the ingredients and cook it down till it reduces a few times and the flavor marries. Of course salt & pepper to taste. Sometimes I'll add egg noodles but it tastes fine w/o.
Such simple ingredients yet such an impactful and delicate flavor. I prefer to use the cilantro fresh as a garnish on top. mmm!
