My people come from Aguascalientes and Monterey and all of the ladies were amazing cooks and we ate a LOT of fideo it was cheap and we never had it with meat and for sure it was never soupy yuck! I enjoy this ladies channel because she is like you were at you tias house because we all have a tia that is the best cook on earth. It is so enlightening to find how diverse our food is. Me, I would sneak next door to my tia Carlotas house for a plate of frijoles de la olla a chunk of raw onion and Serrano peppers with some salt to dip that pepper in but the best part was the flour tortillas made fresh three and four times a day with MANTECA not Crisco. I’m 73 and I would eat a plate of beans and a few flour tortillas right front of my cardiologist right now.Keep up the good work lady.

[@garymohler107]

My wife passed almost four year’s ago, she used to make this and I loved it, I am going to try and make it, we where married 56 years but she would never let me help her make anything, so now at 78 years old I’m looking at your videos, and getting hungry for Fideo soup.

[@sylhiggins1766]

I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now. The thing I love the most about you, other than your delicious recipes is how you allow options. You never shame anyone if they have a different take on a meal prep. For instance you may say, I like to do such and such, but you don't have to. It's just how I prefer to do it. Rachel that is an amazing teaching quality that I simply adore about you. Keep up the good work and the delicious meals!😊♥️

[@j.a.whittler6983]

Isn't she amazing. Rachel is a great home cook. She knows how to explain her dishes in a way that her subscribers can understand. I'm a man and a home cook, as well. I love her cooking style. 🍳

Hello Rachel. My GOSH, you are a fantastic cook. You are an artist of cooking. I am a pretty good cook myself. I love cooking, as I can see you do as well... When I watch your video, I can smell your cooking and when you taste your food, my mouth waters. I pass your video on to my friend. I tell them, you ate the best cook, I have come across. God Bless you and your family. My husband loved my cooking as well, I am sure, your does also. My husband passed away, and I really miss cooking for him. He was my best critic, and always told me, I was the best. Ok would say, I cook with love for you. Martha Camacho

[@huertagreene]

Oh my goodness! When you tasted, I could taste the flavor of the soup and all its ingredients and the tortillas! I have been wanting to try this. You really need to be on TV. You explain things so well and your dishes are perfect! Love you sistah!

All my relatives passed away even my mom and dad. My sisters are alive but we are not close anymore 😕 I feel you are continuing my mom's legacy in the kitchen. I'm 58years old so, back when I was a little girl 👧 the men went out to work and the woman stood home and cooked. It's been 20 years since my mom's been gone. You have the most sweetest personality 💓. Please don't stop cooking. You are my mentor. I can't wait to see what you are cooking 😋 for Christmas.

[@mjacksaz]

[@rosalindaestrada5314]

I just went back in time remembering my childhood with my mother in the kitchen fixing our meals. I was able to smell all the spices in the Fideo con pollo....which was one of our favorite dishes in our home and we had it at least once a week. With fresh made flower tortillas, picante salsa on a side with fresh cold ice limonade. Wow!!...we are 1/ 4 Italian, 1/2 Spanish and the rest Irish and Jewish and my grandparents cooked a mixed of all of them and what it make the food taste better and give it a kick was the Mexican hot spices and flavors of love. I remember asking my grandmother why her food was so tasty and she will say " si cocinas con amor hasta los frijolitos te salen sabrosos " and she was right!! ..my son tells me now the same thing....thanks for your videos Rachel! I forgot about this recipe that is very economical and tasty and I am going to start cooking it for my son and friends...Greetings from Texas....

@@rachelcookswithlove I made this today and it was truly delicious. My brother and sister loved it. My modifications were that I used chicken breasts and sauteed them in olive oil, because we're still snowed in and that is what we had on hand. Also made beans with bacon.. and served up as suggested.. Delicious!! Thank you! Hope you are doing alright. Please be safe.

May you and your Ron have a beautiful & blessed week ahead my wonderful friend.
