Step 1
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the 2 minced garlic cloves and 3 tbsp tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant and the paste darkens slightly.
Step 3
Pour in the 6 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the 8 oz fideo noodles and 1 tsp salt.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until noodles are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Season with 0.5 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or lime if desired.
