Sopa de Fideo

Drawing: Recipe #30 Sopa de Fideo

1 package cut vermicelli noodles
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. oregano
2 tbsp. Knorr tomato bouillon with chicken flavor
1 tbsp. butter or margarine
3 c. boiling water

In a 10-inch skillet, sauté noodles in butter or margarine until light brown. Add boiling water, salt, pepper, bouillon, cumin and oregano. Stir everything together. On medium heat, simmer until all water is absorbed; do not cover. Once it is simmering with all seasoning added, stir one time. Let simmer. The most important thing to remember is: do not stir again - just let simmer. Takes roughly 30 minutes for the liquid to be absorbed.
