Sopa Seca De Fideo (Dry Soup)

Mexican meals are often served with a sopa seca or dry soup. It is soup in name only, because the broth is almost entirely cooked away. It can be made with pasta, rice or even pieces of tortilla which have been cooked briefly in hot oil or butter, then added to the liquid. If meats and/or vegetables are added, a sopa seca can become a delicious main course.
