Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the soup will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, and high-quality pasta.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much pasta or vegetables to the pot, the soup will be too thick and the pasta will not cook evenly.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pasta to cook through.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot: Sopa de fideo is best served hot, with a side of tortillas or bread.
