Recipe: Dry-cooked Noodle Soup

Despite the consistent 90+ degree weather in Agua Caliente, I was never able to give up my love for soup! My host sister prepared this really simple noodle soup and it only took 3 ingredients: onion, tomato, and pasta noodles!

 

 

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 onion
• 2-3 tomatoes, depending how tomatoey you want your soup to be
• pasta noodles
• 1 touch of cooking oil
• salt

Making this soup is so easy that I think it’ll be my go-to whenever I’m craving a quick and easy noodle soup made with readily available ingredients while I’m here.

Steps:

1. Dice your onion and tomatoes into small little cubes.
2. Heat up your pot and add a bit of oil.
3. Throw your pasta noodles into the pot and let it turn golden brown while you stir it so it’s evenly tanned.
4. Add the onions, tomato, salt into the pot and stir together with about 1-2 cups of water, depending how much soup you want when you’re done.
5. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes on low heat, stirring every 5 minutes.
