Una Cocina Mexicana

I'm going to be learning a lot of new home-made Mexican recipes now that I will be able to cook at home and pitch in more. I'll post them here as I learn them!

Sopita

This dish (as well as most Mexican dishes) are based on how much you want. If you want more of an ingredient, put it in!!!There are no real amounts, just a basic guideline of what to put in.

What you'll need:

• tomatoes
• onion
• garlic
• fideo (a kind of pasta)
• oil
• 2 cans of chicken broth (we use Campbell's)
• a blender
• a soup pot

I'm going to put the amounts for our family in here:

• 4 tomatoes
• half an onion
• 3 cloves of garlic
• half a bag of fideo
• some oil
• 2 cans of chicken broth

What to do:

• cut of the ends of the tomato, put in blender
• cut up the onion, put in blender
• put the cloves of garlic in the blender
• put the can of chicken both in (we dilute in with some water as well, one part chicken broth and one part water)

• blend the tomatoes,garlic,onion,and chicken broth   
• put some oil in the soup pot and start to brown the fideo (try to not have any of the fideo stick to the bottom)
• drain excess oil


• put what's in the blender into the pot with the fideo and add the second can of chicken broth

• cook for about 20-25 minutes, taste to make sure it's cooked
