1

Prep and cook the sopa de fideo

  • Break the spaghetti into bite-size pieces.
  • Rinse the pinto beans. 
  • In a small bowl or cup, mix the vegetable broth concentrate with 1 cup [2 cups] warm water and stir to combine.

In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to blister and turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the sopa de fideo base. Season generously with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. 

Add the vegetable broth and 2 cups [4 cups] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the beans, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spaghetti is just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. While the sopa is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.

Prep the garnishes; warm the tortillas

  • Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ½-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the lime into wedges. 
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro. 

On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the tortillas, turning once, until just pliable and warmed through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, cover, and keep warm.

Serve

Transfer the sopa de fideo to individual bowls and garnish with the avocado and cilantro. Serve the lime wedges and tortillas on the side.
