• 2 Roma tomatoes, roasted and peeled
• 1/2 white onion, peeled and chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 2 tbsp. pure corn oil (a must ingredient, for authentic flavor)

1. Heat the chicken stock to a simmer.
2. Meanwhile, puree the tomato, onion and garlic in a blender with just enough of the stock to allow the blades to move.
3. Heat the corn oil in a large saucepan, add the noodles and sauté them, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until they are just golden in color.
4. Add the tomato mixture and stir to coat the noodles.
5. Add the hot stock and continue cooking until the noodles are nearly done.
6. Add the chard and continue cooking until the chard is wilted.
