Sopa De Fideo Con Carne

This delicious soup recipe has noodles as well as beef. You can even add some beans into the mix if you want, or add extra broth if you want a more soupy version. Although this is a warming, cozy dish, that doesn’t mean you can only serve it during the cooler months. It’s too good to miss out on during the warmer months.

Noodles, or fideos as they’re known south of the border, are really good in this soup, although you can use little pasta shapes or broken up spaghetti pieces instead if you want.

How to Serve It:

Enjoy this hot, with warm corn tortillas or, if you prefer, flour tortillas. 

Can You Make It Ahead?

Yes, you can prepare it in advance and reheat it later on. Keep in mind the pasta might absorb the broth over time, so you might need to add a splash more when you reheat it.

Storage Instructions:

Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Variations and Substitutions:

Omit the serrano chile if you don’t want any spice in the dish. It’s left whole so it infuses the soup with flavor rather than add too much heat in there.
