Sopa de Fideros

The ingredients I use are pretty simple and do not contain meat, which is sustainable and easy to make. Also, I made it for my family, which includes my parents and my younger brother. This recipe got us together to enjoy the dinner and spent time talking with each other. I believe it is the inclusion and belongingness as well as restoration in terms of family relationship during quarantine of COVID time. Finally, this recipe mixes pasta and tomatoes and egg, which means mix Western and Eastern ingredients. Here is the show of diversity and equality. They’re different ingredients, and pasta is the protagonist of this dish; however, without tomatoes and eggs, there is no flavor adding in. Therefore, they’re different but equal in this dish. I also learn how to cook this new style pasta, so, I grow form here.

Ingredients

Green onions (2-3)
Cooking oil
Water
Oregano
Cumin
Salt
Chicken flavor bouillon
Milk (optional)
Cheese (optional)
Lime (optional)

Instructions

Cut up 1-3 of your green onions (white and green together) into thin pieces
Toast the in the bottom of your pot with enough oils to coat the bottom of the pan and the green onions. To much oil is ok, but not enough and you might burn the green onions. The green onions should only get slightly darker if at all and barely reduce, they should be on medium heat for about a minute.
Add the amount of water you want soup and bring to a boil on high heat.
Once your water is boiling add your noodles of choices, think chicken noodle soup when adding noodles: a lot. Traditionally it is made with spaghetti noodles, but I prefer macaroni noodles.
Season to taste with oregano, cumin, salt, and chicken flavor bouillon. Add the least amount of cumin or it will be over powering. Also if it doesn’t smell like oregano, add more
Taste as you add to make adjustments, this isn’t optional as I still mess up the seasoning and need to make adjustments
Once the noodles are almost done add the milk, it should turn a soft/creamy white. This is optional, you can also add the milk after the soup is done cooking to taste
Once the noodles are done add 2 eggs and stir right away or you will end up with two scrabbled eggs in your soup instead of it being spread out like desired. Stir as violently as you safely can to mix them in. I like to use quick and firm zig-zag movements across the pot. You will still end up with clumps if egg white and that’s ok.
If you end up with a whole egg yolk like I did this time that’s ok just take it out at the end cute it up small and through it back in
Alternatively you can beat the eggs before adding them to the soup like my mom does and it turned out less clumpy, but I’m ok with it being clumpy and too lazy to put in the extra work. Still stir in the same way
Once the soup is done cooking and off the fire add cheese to taste. This is also optional.
Once served add lime to taste. Technically also optional but HIGHLY recommended even if it sounds weird.
