Sopa de Fideo – Mexican Noodle Soup
Homey, tart, comforting and delicious — Our Sopa de Fideo is super easy, gluten-free, vegan and a huge yum.
Sopa de Fideo (Mexican Noodle Soup) has all of the delish ingredients you think of when you think of Mexico … ripe tomatoes, fresh cilantro, onion and garlic, and cumin spice; plus, it has the addition of short, pre-toasted noodles.
To make this dish gluten-free, we used GF Spaghetti noodles, snapping them into shorter lengths for the noodle soup. They add amazing texture and body to the soup. Be sure to take the few moments to toast these in oil as it adds a great crunch to the soup.
We used a small food processor to blitz our tomatoes, cilantro, onion and garlic before stewing them. The aroma is amazing!
There are only a few easy steps to making a perfect sopa de fideo … leave to simmer for about 30 minutes and you’re set to serve! We love making gluten-free naan or focaccia bread to dip into this delicious soup.
We hope you enjoy our dish! Find more recipes and inspiration here!
