  5. Transfer the bundles and any broken pieces to a plate.
  6. Add the onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes.

  10. Stir in the broth, the toasted fideos, salt, and pepper, to taste.
  11. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently, uncovered, breaking up the fideos with a spoon, for about 5 minutes.
