Sopa seca, or “dry soup,” is a common course in traditional Mexican meals, is not really a soup at all, though making it does start with a broth that is then entirely cooked away. Often, fideo (a type of vermicelli that resembles a small nest made of fine noodles) is used. Fideo noodles are available in specialty markets and in well-stocked supermarkets.
