Sopa de Fideos (Chicken Noodle Soup with Sofrito)
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. The key to the color and flavor of this soup is to fry the sofrito in the oil: it's imperative that it sizzles as soon as it hits the pot. (Stand back and use a long spoon!)

  • 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.
