Today I am cooking at home and making fideo loco. This is a San Antonio Texas favorite and something I grew up having as a child. The ingredients are versatile and you can use what you prefer.
Ingredients
2 Tbsp cooking oil
7 oz (200 g) Vermicelli pasta
1/2 of a small onion (sliced)
1 lb (454 g ) lean ground beef
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
3 small potatoes (cubed)
3 medium tomatoes
6 to 7 cups water
2 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder (18 to 20 g)
fresh epazote (optional)
sprigs of fresh cilantro (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Peg: Looks terrific, Mama! Love soups in the fall and winter. I made your Albondiga soup earlier this week and this will be nice over the weekend between all of the turkey leftovers! Thanks so much! Date: 2020-11-28
