Sopa de Fideos Chicken Noodle Soup with Sofrito

Soups

Sofrito is a flavor base made by sautéing onions and garlic in oil. In Latin America, each region has its own variation that incorporates native ingredients; the tomato-based sofrito here is common in Mexico.

Ingredients

1 28-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 cup chopped white onion
6 large cloves garlic
½ cup chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
5 ounces whole-wheat angel hair pasta, broken into 1-inch pieces
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each cut into 3 pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 ripe avocado, diced
Lime wedges & hot sauce for garnish

Description

Combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, chile powder, cumin and oregano in a blender. Puree until smooth.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add pasta and stir constantly until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato mixture (careful, it will splatter). Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add broth, chicken and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until the chicken is cooked through (165°F), 10 to 12 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and shred. Return it to the pot. Serve the soup topped with avocado, along with lime wedges and hot sauce, if desired.
