Prep

Step 1. Blend the Canned Tomatoes, Onion, and Garlic until smooth.

Cook

Step 2. Heat the Olive Oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Vermicelli and stir often until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 3. Pour the tomato mixture into the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring, until slightly thickened and darker, about 5 minutes.
Step 4. Add the Chicken Broth, Chicken Breast, and Salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside, about 15 minutes.
Step 5. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Return the toasted noodles to the pot and simmer until tender, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, shred the chicken with forks.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Return the chicken to the soup and season to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve with Lime and Cilantro, if using.

Tips

Good to know

Stir the noodles constantly as they toast; their color can go from golden to burnt quickly.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and add a splash of stock when reheating, since the noodles absorb broth.

Good to know

Check the thickest piece of chicken with an instant-read thermometer; it should reach 165°F.
