Notes: - Some like this soup to be heavy tomato-based. If so, add a small can of tomato sauce. Also, in place of the serrano chilies, you may add a sml can of chopped green chile before you add the Fideos. The 7 oz pkg of Fideos is very small, so you have to buy several to feed a family. If using a pkg of angle hair fettucine, you would have to double/tripple ingredients. I use to use a lg pkg of Fedios that were shaped in a figure eight (8) form. I cannot find them any more. I liked them because they were easy to brown and place in the liquid. When the soup was done the fedios would come out long and tender similar to spagetti. This is a traditional dish of my mother's family and mine. It can be served with flour tortillas or French bread. Our grandson, Braxton, loves for me to prepare this for him!
