What each ingredient does
- Semolina
- Thickens the stock as its starch swells during simmering, giving the soup body.
- Stock
- Provides the liquid base and most of the savory flavor of the soup.
The step that matters
Adding semolina to the boiling stock. Semolina clumps if dropped in without constant stirring. Stirring while adding disperses the grains so each one hydrates evenly and the soup thickens smoothly instead of forming lumps.
