Toni Okamoto’s Sopa de Fideo

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat ¼ cup water over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and garlic in it for 1 minute. Add the zucchini and pasta and sauté until the noodles turn very light brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the tomatoes, cumin, broth, and tomato sauce and stir until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer until the pasta has softened, about 10 minutes.
