Ingredients

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 small onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (7 ounce) package fideo pasta, uncooked
3 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

Combine tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a blender. Pulse a few times to start, then blend until completely smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and add the fideo pasta. Fry the pasta gently, stirring frequently, until it turns a golden brown color, approximately 2 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Pour the tomato mixture into a large saucepan. Add the chicken broth and noodles. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the noodles are tender, around 7 to 8 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cilantro and cook until everything is heated through.
