1 tablespoon avocado oil or vegetable oil
1 7 ounces package of mexican pasta. Shells, alphabet, or fideo (or vermicelli noodles, broken into 2" pieces)
¼ cup white or yellow onion (finely chopped)
6 to 7 cups chicken or vegetable broth (add 7 cups for a brothier soup).

1 cube chicken, beef or vegetable bullion
¼ cup cilantro (finely chopped)
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Steps

1
In a 4-qt. saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the pasta until slightly browned. Keep stirring constantly to brown all sides. About 5 minutes.
2
Add the onions and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes until soft.
3
Add the tomato sauce and stir for about a minute or so. Be careful that if the pot it's too hot, the tomato sauce will splatter.
4
Add the broth, the bullion, cilantro, pepper & salt.
5
Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium low; cover with a lid (leaving it slightly open) and simmer until the noodles are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
