Instructions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the fideo and stir until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the onion and garlic, reduce the heat, and cook until the onions are translucent. Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, and oregano. Add 3 qt. stock and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer for about 7 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the remaining stock and simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. The fideo should be almost al dente and fairly dry. Keep warm or cool and refrigerate until service.
Step 4
For each serving, reheat about 1 1/2 cups soup and garnish with cilantro and cotija.
