    I had some trouble with this recipe but I didn't follow it exactly so I won't rate it yet. My hubby liked the flavors though so I will keep trying. My main problem was I used tiny "cut fideo" noodles. I didn't pre-cook them because they cook in only 3 minutes. I put them in the pot in a layer with the tomatoes on top. I didn't think of stirring them. I cooked the whole thing on high for 2.5 hrs while I was gone. The noodles turned into a mushy, gummy layer. I'm tempted not to add noodles all during cooking and add them at the end, fully cooked. But I will play with it. Also I was afraid to add salt because I used a bullion cube but it did need more seasoning. Hopefully I will have broth next time and will feel more free to add seasoning salt.
