Fideo con camaron! Vermicelli-style pasta with shrimp, fideo with chicken, fideo with vegetables, soupy fideo or fideo seco! I will take it in any of those varieties as long as it’s a big bowl! Sopa or sopita as I lovingly call it was and is still a staple in our house. It brings back wonderful memories of my parents cooking.

Salsa de Chile Ancho
This is a basic red chile sauce that I use for many, many recipes. I choose chile ancho because it is on the mild side compared to some of the other dried chiles.
