Fideo Recipe

This quick, simple, and delicious Sopa de Fideo (noodle soup) is a family favorite. It’s cheesy and flavorful!

Sopa de Fideo is one of our favorite Mexican soups – along with Chicken Tortilla Soup, Enchilada Soup, and Taco Soup. You can’t go wrong with any of them!

Fideo is a thin Mexican noodle. It is similar to angel hair pasta or thin spaghetti. In fact, if you can’t find fideo noodles, you can use thin spaghetti or vermicelli noodles. Just break the pasta into 1-inch pieces and cook as directed.

The best part of fideo? You can usually find a bag for only two quarters at most grocery stores. Score!

Ever since we were little, my mom has made for us the best sopa (aka soup) using fideo. This Sopa de Fideo has become a classic dinner in our home that the whole family loves.

It’s not only delicious but requires just a few ingredients too. And with the noodles being so inexpensive, it’s also a great meal when you’re trying to pinch pennies or use some pantry staples.
