Caldo de Fideo

== Ingredients ==
* Large fresh or dried green beans (Called Habas – could substitute butter beans)
* 1 cup chopped white Onion
* 1 and ½ cup chopped carrot
* ¼ cup chopped salt Pork
* 20 halved new potatoes
* 1 cup twistie noodles
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 2 dried Aji Arequipina or whole dried hot pepper substitute
* 1 tablespoon salt
== Directions ==
# Boil potatoes & beans until lightly cooked, separate from cooking water and set aside.
# Combine, beans, Onion, carrot, salt Pork, and salt in large soup pot and simmer.
# In separate frying pan lightly sautee noodle in olive oil until slightly browned in some parts and add to soup pot to simmer. This action enforces a kind of strong al-dente result when the noodles are later boiled. Grind Aji with a bit of tomatoe for moisture into a fine paste and add to soup pot.
# Simmer in soup pot until Pasta is almost cooked, add potatoes and continue to simmer until Pasta and potatoes are both cooked.
# This soup was a wonderful treat in the evening when temperatures plunged and the skies sparkeled in the thin mountain air.
# I cannot fail to mention that the taste of this soup is aided by being cooked on an open wood flame – the rich smoke combines with the salt Pork to produce much of its savoury flavor.
