The name âsopa seca de fideoâ translates to âdry soup with noodlesâ. Itâs not soup, itâs called a âdry soupâ because the noodles absorb all of the wonderful rich stock, making the noodles taste more delicious than you can possibly imagine. The dish is made with thin noodles, angel hair pasta or vermicelli. My mother makes this dish at least once a month and we were raised just calling it by the noodle name, vermicelli. All you have to do is say that word and the collective eyes of our family light up with glee.
