fideo with chicken sausage
We had fideo loco soup in Texas and it was mighty fine. We were told it's considered comfort food in many Mexican families. In this version, I omitted potatoes and used chicken sausage in order to save a few points!! Today's sausage was Red Pepper w/ Garlic, but any flavor would be delicious!
