Answers: Steps and or recipe please
Sopa de Fideo con Pollo
Fideo is essentially the Spanish word for vermicelli, a pasta that found its way into the Tex-Mex oeuvre.
This Fideo Soup With Chicken, made with a recipe from America's Restaurant, Harlingen, can be served as a soup or stew depending on the amount of broth used.
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Chicken parts
Bay leaf
Cumin to taste
Garlic powder to taste
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil (just enough to coat the bottom of large skillet)
2 boxes (10 ounces) dry fideo noodles or dry broken vermicelli (pieces about 1 1/4 inch long)
1 white onion, cut up
1 large bell pepper, cut up
1 small can tomato sauce (just enough for some color and flavor)
Cilantro and-or jalapeno, for optional seasoning and color
Boil chicken pieces in large pot full of water with spices until done, about 30 minutes, reserve broth.
Saute the fideo in oil a few minutes until browned (medium heat). Add onion and bell pepper pieces. Once lightly browned, add chicken pieces. Pour in some broth and tomato sauce, enough to cover everything — just barely for thicker stews, more for thinner soups, then cover and simmer until noodles are cooked through. Finish with more seasonings (cumin, salt, garlic, to taste). Can be garnished with cilantro and-or jalapeno. America serves this with warm corn tortillas and refried beans.

Buy the yellow boxes of fideo...usually 4 for a dollar...bake or boil skinless chicken (dark or white meat, you choose). Cool and dice or shred meat. Cook fideo per instructions and add 1 small can of tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chicken. You can add fresh cilantro and diced onions if you wish. Enjoy.
