Chicken Fideo Soup
The Italian Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Fideo soup is the Italian version of a chicken noodle soup recipe. Delicate and delicious with a touch of parmigiano is the touch of Italian.

Have you noticed that Italian pasta recipes are all about simple food made with fresh ingredients put together in a way that makes them taste delicious? That is the basis of Italian Pasta Soup!

Italian pasta soups were originally poor man's food that has evolved over time. In the old country it was common for neighbors to share a meat bone to make soup over and over again.

That's why it's so important to use a real homemade chicken stock recipe when you're making any chicken soup. Canned broth just isn't the same. Here is my recipe for a homemade chicken stock. Make a large batch and freeze it in smaller containers for future use.

Chicken Fideo Soup Ingredients

2 cups of homemade chicken stock
cup of uncooked fideo pasta shape
cup of chopped Italian parties
4 bagette croutons
Olive Oil to drizzle
Freshly grated parmigiano

Preperation

Slice four peices of bagette or french bread cut into 1 inch thick slices. Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil and toast until golden brown and set aside.

Add the fideo pasta into the chicken broth. This thin pasta shape is so tiny it will cook quickly. Cook until al dente.

Ladel out into 4 soup bowls and drop the crisp bagette crouton in the center of the soup. I like to sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated parmigiano and then drizzle with olive oil.

Another terrific pasta soup recipe much like this chicken fideo soup is the traditional Stacciatelli soup. A must try Easter tradition.
