Preparation

Step 1

1. Prepare all your ingredients dicing the vegetables.

2. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil in your soup pot at medium heat.

3. Add the Vermicelli and lightly stir fry it. This will take a couple of minutes. Remove and place in a separate plate.

4. Add the other tablespoon of oil to the pot and add the carrots. Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Add potatoes, onion, chayote and zucchini. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking place the tomato and the garlic cloves in the blender with the cup of water and blend until smooth.

5. Add the tomato-garlic mixture to the pot and stir. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

6. Add the Vermicelli and simmer for 3 more minutes. Vermicelli cooks very fast.

7. Stir in the chicken and simmer until the Vermicelli is tender. Season with salt and pepper.

mmm me encanta sopa de fideo! my mom also makes it with carne an frijoles en bola y queso fresco!

Hola Barbie, I also love adding blended black beans to the fideos with top it cheese.

Hola Prieta, I do hope you cook it. Just check that this soup makes a lot.

very comforting looking soup, although i rarely make soup as hubby isnt a big fan of soups :). I like big hearty soups :)

That soup looks so good! I love my home-made chicken and vegetable soup. After a long hot summer, the first cool down of fall that is what I make. I am going to make a note of your soup. Gotta give it a try. Thanks.

Mely, this soup looks amazing. The colors are just beautiful. I wish I had a bowl of this right now. I can't seem to shake this sinus stuff and I know a nice bowl of chicken soup would help. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Soup looks awesome do you think i can make just with veggies as I don't eat meat. Thinking of spicing up with chili powder too.

Yes, you can make it just with the veggies. Some people cook just the Vermicelli with the tomato and the broth mixture.

What a beautiful Chicken and Vegetable soup. I can just smell all of those wonderful flavors simmering away on top of the stove. I sure wish I had a bowl of this soup for my lunch. Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you next week!

This is my all time favorite meal I mean it can be a meal to me in fact it just inspired me to got ot the kitchen and make the dish, our family has a little differant version we use the spun Vermicelli and we fry it first .but your sounds very good I will try it Now!
