2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup yellow onion, finely diced

1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 cup finely diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp aji amarillo paste (or 1 tsp mild hot sauce) and cook 1 minute.
2

Add 2 tbsp tomato paste and stir into the aromatics, cooking 1 minute until darkened. Add 1 cup diced tomato and cook 2 minutes.
3

Add 1 lb ground beef (85/15) and brown until cooked through and no pink remains, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), about 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
4

Pour in 6 cups low-sodium beef broth and bring to a boil. Add 4 oz broken in half angel hair pasta or thin spaghetti, broken in half and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
5

Whisk 2 beaten large eggs and 1/2 cup whole milk together. Remove pot from heat and slowly pour the egg-milk mixture in while stirring to create silky egg ribbons.
6

Return to very low heat for 1 minute to heat through. Do not boil after adding eggs. Ladle into bowls and top with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.

Questions

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup whole milk. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Sopa a la Minuta Quick Beef Noodle Soup gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 4 oz angel hair pasta or thin spaghetti, broken in half, broken in half. Swap the pasta for a gluten-free one, cooked a minute short of its package time. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Sopa a la Minuta Quick Beef Noodle Soup keep?

Refrigerate it up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. If you plan to freeze it, stir the dairy in when reheating rather than before freezing, so it does not split.
