\u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/p>\n

Lime wedges<\/p>\n

Diced onion<\/p>\n

Avocado slices<\/p>\n

Crumbled queso fresco<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/h1>\n

Step 1: Toast the Fideo<\/h2>\n

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat.<\/p>\n

Add the fideo pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until it turns a deep golden brown. This usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

Remove the toasted pasta and set aside.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef<\/h2>\n

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of oil.<\/p>\n

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.<\/p>\n

Drain any excess grease if necessary.<\/p>\n

Stir in the diced onion and cook for 4 minutes until softened.<\/p>\n

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Prepare the Tomato Base<\/h2>\n

Blend together:<\/p>\n

Roma tomatoes<\/p>\n

Half of the white onion<\/p>\n

Garlic<\/p>\n

Tomato sauce<\/p>\n

Water<\/p>\n

Blend until smooth.<\/p>\n

Pour the mixture into the pot with the beef.<\/p>\n

Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce darkens slightly and becomes fragrant.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Build the Soup<\/h2>\n

Add:<\/p>\n

Beef broth<\/p>\n

Ground cumin<\/p>\n

Mexican oregano<\/p>\n

Paprika<\/p>\n

Salt<\/p>\n

Black pepper<\/p>\n

Bring the soup to a gentle boil.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Add the Fideo and Beans<\/h2>\n

Return the toasted fideo to the pot.<\/p>\n

Add the cooked pinto beans.<\/p>\n

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.<\/p>\n

Avoid overcooking, as the pasta will continue to soften while resting.<\/p>\n

Step 6: Serve<\/h2>\n

Ladle the soup into bowls.<\/p>\n

Top with roasted jalape\u00f1os, fresh cilantro, diced onion, queso fresco, or avocado if desired.<\/p>\n

Serve with warm corn tortillas or crusty bread.<\/p>\n

Tips for the Best Sopa de Fideo<\/h1>\n

Toast the Pasta<\/h3>\n

Toasting the fideo before adding the broth gives the soup its signature nutty flavor and authentic Mexican taste.<\/p>\n

Use Homemade Broth<\/h3>\n

Homemade beef broth creates a richer and more flavorful soup.<\/p>\n

Don’t Overcook the Noodles<\/h3>\n

Fideo cooks quickly and continues absorbing liquid after cooking.<\/p>\n

Make It Spicier<\/h3>\n

Add chopped serrano peppers, chipotle peppers, or roasted jalape\u00f1os for extra heat.<\/p>\n

Serving Suggestions<\/h1>\n

This hearty soup pairs perfectly with:<\/p>\n

Warm corn tortillas<\/p>\n

Flour tortillas<\/p>\n

Mexican rice<\/p>\n

Fresh salsa<\/p>\n

Avocado slices<\/p>\n

Lime wedges<\/p>\n

Queso fresco<\/p>\n

Pickled jalape\u00f1os<\/p>\n

Storage Instructions<\/h1>\n

Refrigerator<\/h3>\n

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Freezer<\/h3>\n

Freeze without the noodles for up to 3 months<\/strong>. Add freshly cooked fideo when reheating for the best texture.<\/p>\n

Reheating<\/h3>\n

Warm over medium heat on the stovetop. Add a little extra broth if the noodles have absorbed too much liquid.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h1>\n

What is fideo?<\/h2>\n
