Рецепт Wheels or Gear Pasta Soup - Sopa de Rueditas o Engranes
“Sponsored post by Mirum Shopper. All opinions are my own.” #SaboreaTuVerano
This
soup is called gear’s soup or “engranes” in Spanish, but growing up we called “sopa
de rueditas” or wheel soup, because its shape resembles little wheels. This
pasta soup is one that you can prepare as a main dish or as a part of a full
course meal. You can even make it a day ahead and take it with you to work or
just warm up when you come back for dinner, it tastes even better the next day.
This
soup takes me back to my elementary school years, when coming back from school,
sometimes, I will stop by one of my uncle’s house just to see what they were for
having lunch and, hopefully, get invited. My aunt lived with one of my cousins,
and she used to make this soup and, as many people do in Mexico, she added a
few drops of lime to their soup, plus something else that was weird to me at
that time, shredded raw cabbage. Look for veggies in your fridge and freezer
and enjoy this soup with the toppings of your choice.
Enjoy!

1.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan, over medium
heat. Add the carrot, onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes, stir in
the pasta and keep cooking for 3 more minutes.
2.
Pour the water and add the Knorr tomato bouillon,
stir until it has dissolved. Cover the saucepan, and simmer for 10 minutes.
3.
Stir in the green peas and turn off the heat,
place the lid back. After 3 minutes it is ready to serve. Ladle into cups or
bowls, and garnish with cilantro or parsley. If you like to add some toppings check the notes
above, I like to add a little bit of bottled hot sauce and some crumbled
Mexican fresh white cheese.
