Thissoup is called gear’s soup or “engranes” in Spanish, but growing up we called “sopade rueditas” or wheel soup because its shape resembles little wheels. Thispasta soup is one that you can prepare as a main dish or as a part of a fullcourse meal. You can even make it a day ahead and take it with you to work orjust warm up when you come back for dinner, it tastes even better the next day.
Wheels or Gear Pasta Soup - Sopa de Rueditas o Engranes

Thissoup takes me back to my elementary school years when coming back from school,sometimes, I will stop by one of my uncle’s house just to see what they were forhaving lunch and, hopefully, get invited.
My aunt lived with one of my cousins,and she used to make this soup and, as many people do in Mexico, she added afew drops of lime to their soup, plus something else that was weird to me atthat time, shredded raw cabbage. Look for veggies in your fridge and freezerand enjoy this soup with the toppings of your choice.
Enjoy!
