"Dry" Mexican Noodle Soup (Sopa Seca de Fideos)
Josefina Mijares
"Not your traditional soup: the Mexican name of this recipe literally translates as “dry soup” so there is no liquid. Fideo noodles are fried, then stirred into a quick tomato sauce and simmered until noodles absorb it. Serve with grated aged cheese."
