📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook Noodles
2
Add the vegetable oil to a large soup pot. Break the vermicelli noodles into one to two inch sections and then add them to the pot. Cook the dry noodles in the oil over medium-low heat while constantly stirring for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes, or until the noodles have turned golden brown and are slightly blistered. You may need to brown the noodles in batches.**
vegetable oil ($0.17)2 Tbsp

Add vegetables
4
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and cumin to the pot with the noodles and continue to cook and stir for a few minutes more, or until the onions have softened.

5
Purée tomatoes
6
Add a little of the juice from the can of tomatoes to the pot to stop the browning of the noodles. Use a blender or immersion blender to purée the canned tomatoes along with their remaining juices. Add the puréed tomatoes to the pot with the noodles, along with the six cups of chicken broth.

Bring to a boil
8
If using a jalapeño pepper, add it to the pot whole (this gives a slight jalapeño flavor without too much heat). Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium high, and allow it to come to a boil. Let the pot simmer for about ⏱️ 15 minutes, or until the noodles are soft. If the noodles absorb too much liquid, feel free to add more tomato sauce or broth if desired.***
